Yeah, but let's ignore that for the moment.  If we didn't have 
historical baggage, would we prefer the syntax above or do you think 
there's value in specifying it on separate lines?

At this stage, I'm not worried about config file compatibility.  If we 
need to add some special logic to the -net switch to accommodate it's 
strange behavior, that's okay with me.
