 I assume you're referring to 
 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-schoen-intarea-unicast-127/ ? 
  
 It proposes 127/16 for the loopback network.  So 127.0.1.1 is perfectly 
 fine, even in a distant future after this draft has become an Internet 
 Standard. 
  
 (Let's not go into a discussion about the draft here.  Take that to the 
 IETF if you're interesed.  Just wanted to clear up that 127/24 confusion)
