If I understand the intention of
draft-ietf-opsawg-smi-datatypes-in-xsd correctly, it is supposed to
provide a direct XSD version of SMI data types.  No nice-to-have types
will be defined by this spec.

For this particular type (inet:host), the best SMIv2 type we can use
is InetAddress from rfc 4001, but we can do better in XML (see e.g.
inet-types.yang :).
