The IPv6 man page was never complete when I wrote it long ago.

This

is still true.

IPv6 just needs finishing.

One option actually since the RFCs document IPv6 basic and extended
API very well would be to somehow pull them in similar to the POSIX
manpages and let them speak for themselves.

I don't know if that is possible with the RFC copyrights though (?)
