>I have one question. Glibc 2.2 will follow draft-ietf-ipngwg-rfc2553bis-00.txt

Glibc 2.2 already includes most of the changes in that draft.  The exception 
is getipnodebyname() and its friends, which are already obsolete.  You should 
use getaddrinfo() instead for IPv6.

If you find other areas of the API which are outdated in the current test 
release, please let me know.
