Works for me.

A sufficiently confused reader could perhaps get the idea that a DNS
name that resolves to an address was acceptable.

Here's my try, feel free to edit to taste:

# @ip6-prefix: IPv6 network prefix or 'none' (default fec0::) (since 2.6)
# The network prefix is given in the usual hexadecimal IPv6 address
# notation.
# 'none' disables IPv6 completely.
