I thought struct sockaddr_storage can be different on different
implementations, and isn't guaranteed to store ~everything, just the
representations that host supports. This is something I've been a little
unclear about, actually; is there any existing standard for transmitting
generalized network addresses across platforms? Or does everyone just
come up with their own?
