Well, my best guess is that the RFC (entitled "Advanced Sockets API for IPv6") is based on IPv6, which we have not integrated into -current. (What's the story on that, anyway?) The feature I thought you were referring to is passing an fd through a local domain socket, not an inet socket. To the best of my knowledge, BSD does not support the latter operation. (It would be nontrivial.)
