5.3.5.4 Subnet-directed Broadcasts

The first version of this memo spelled out procedures for dealing with subnet-directed-broadcasts. In a CIDR routing domain, these are indistinguishable from net-drected-broadcasts. The two are therefore treated together in section [5.3.5.2 Directed Broadcasts], and should be viewed as network-prefix directed broadcasts.
