I completely agree; however, there are some implementation details to consider
when talking about the raw scans.  It seems to be a bit difficult to implement
cleanly given Nmap's current IPv4 setup, or in ways that are also portable.

I posted a small (now year-old) analysis of the situation:

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q1/0458.html

Though there could be things that I've missed, which would be fortunate for
Nmap.  I seem to remember a response to some IPv6 thread which had some
interesting details... I need to dig that up some time since unfortunately I
don't think I ever got around to replying to it.

Thanks,
