 I think, {src|dst}-ip without version should exist only for backward
compatibility and, maybe, produce warnings.

 Why? symmetry & consistency. And equal length of fields in rules for
different versions, too :-)

 Also, there are confusion with me/me4/me6. When `src-ip` is really
`src-ip4`, what does `me` mean? `me4`? or `me4 OR me6`?
