For the flag in kube-proxy, is used if the address is not specified and can't be resolved by hostname, so I suggest to remove this comment: 0.0.0.0::` for all IPv6 interfaces'

I am very much in favor of this. Being correct and precise in these flags is valuable. To convince myself you were right, I wrote this program: And then I ran it for various inputs: In these flags and docs, we should be clear that if you are specifying a v6 addr and port you have to use syntax. Or maybe we should just audit and fix ALL such places to support and document that "nothing" is how you specify all interfaces. E.g. --bind-address=":80" is more obvious than either "0.0.0.0:80" or "[::]:80".

Even if those syntaxes work, let's just make "" the norm?
