Either works for me, with a slight preference for the first version, on
purely esthetic grounds. And even if we go with that, there's nothing
keeping us from adding an <ipx> element as an alternative to the <ip>
element in the future.
Or a 3rd option is to group addresses by family
<addresses family='ipv4'>
<ip address='122.0.0.3' prefix='24'/>
<ip address='24.24.224.4' prefix='24'/>
</addresses>
<addresses family='ipv6'>
<ip address='2001:23::2' prefix='48'/>
<ip address='fe:33:55::33' prefix='64'/>
</addresses>
<adddresses family='ipx'>
<ipx address='2423.4521.66.3.252.'/>
</address>
