Why not implement this this same for IPv4 and IPv6?  It looks like it is 
only included if it is non-zer and not MAIN in the above case, and then 
below as long as a table ID is non-zero you are setting the value.  Why 
not just include the value in all cases where it is defined just like 
for IPv6?
