	"our-unpublished" is a "Access Control List" / "Address Match List".
	"also-notify" is a "IP Address List".

	They are different types of lists.

	"acl our-unpublished { 1.2.3.4; 5.6.7.8; 1.2.2.2; };" is shorthand
	for "acl our-unpublished { 1.2.3.4/32; 5.6.7.8/32; 1.2.2.2/32; };"

	However as BIND is a open source project please feel free to
	submit patches.
