In file nmap-mac-prefixes (even latest version) OUI 00005E is assigned

Nmap gets its information from
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt , which lists the owners
as IANA at USC ISI:

00-00-5E   (hex)                USC INFORMATION SCIENCES INST

In this moment MACs 
00005E0001xx are assigned for VRRP. This could be really nice feature if 
nmap will recognize this. Can it be added to NMAP TODO list ?


I'm pretty sure that our implementation can only handle 3-byte
prefixes.  But we could assign all of 0x00005E to VRRP.  How common is
it?  Are those addresses used for anything else?
