255.255.255.255 is the prefered universal broadcast address for subnets, so that you don't NEED to know the network & netmask, also 255.255.255.255 is not a valid unicast address anyway...so the long and the short is that I agree with you that we shouldn't do checks, since everytime someone from CSRG did one, they typically fucked it up.
