The algorithmic interpretation of interim network addresses is fully
implemented in ISODE 6.0.

Basically, if you look at Kille's format, you notice that there is a
community name field that is a number.  In 5.0, this was the only format
understood and the number mapped to a TS-stack.

Further, in 6.0, the ISODE lets you define your own formats (within
certain limits), and as a part of that you define the community name and
the TS-stack to use.

With this, you now have a fairly generic approach.  For example, if you
have an isolated TCP/IP LAN, you can easily define an OSI community for
it.

As an application process, you are supposed to treat network addresses
as opaque.

I suggest you read the 6.0 documentation set (when 6.0 is out next week)
to get the answers to the rest of your questions.
