Is there any reason in particular that the inet type isn't returned by
the jdbc driver as an java.net.InetAddress ?

InetAddress doesn't store netmask information.

... and the alternative is... ? I say just return the InetAddress, and
if someone wants the netmask they'll have to call getString() and parse
it themselves. Doing nothing is not an option.

Build an appropriate class that stores the whole type, along the lines of
what's done for the geometric types. That class can implement a
toInetAddress() method if needed.

I don't think doing a lossy conversion by default is a good solution.
