+1 from me -- let the OS do the lookups.
Would you please add example usage and output of socket_addrinfo_explain to
the RFC, as that'll drive documentation creation?
Also, it may be beneficial to elaborate on the scenarios where
socket_addrinfo is easier to use than socket_* and friends (getservbyname
for example) and the costs of that ease (eg, behind the scenes DNS queries).
