	I agree with you that to represent a host address, one could use
an Address  Prefix with a /32 prefix. However, one would then have to
define the error  handling for an incorrect length and the procedures that
must be applied in case one expects to receive a host address but gets a
length different than 32. Why not have a FEC that represents a host
address in this case?
