I have seen NSs with ::35 and MXs with ::19.  I cannot remember any others,
but may have.

There was a discussion someplace (nanog?) about it a few months (years?)
ago, including some jovial chiding directed at those of us who tend to
use the decimal port notation in the v6 addresses.

I've been tempted to use both (they're cheap; take a few), just for fun.

But I wouldn't have written "and others [embed] the hex notation" if I
hadn't witnessed it.
