mac filter under token ring

Can anyone help to clarify what format (canonical/non-canonical) the
access-list under token ring takes ?

Is address specified in 702 canonical or non-canonical ?

interface tokenring 0
source-bridge input-address-list 702
!
interface ethernet 0
bridge-group 1 input-address-list 701
!
access-list 701 permit 0110.2222.3333
!
access-list 702 permit 0110.1234.5678

Here is what the docs CD said under the bridging section :

Note MAC addresses on Ethernets are "bit swapped" when compared with MAC
addresses on Token Ring and FDDI. For example, address 0110.2222.3333 on
Ethernet is 8008.4444.CCCC on Token Ring and FDDI. Access lists always use
the canonical Ethernet representation. When using different media and
building access lists to filter on MAC addresses, keep this point in mind.
Note that when a bridged packet traverses a serial link, it has an
Ethernet-style address.

It said that " Access lists always use the canonical Ethernet
representation." I doubt if this rule also applies to token ring.

Similary, addresses specified in 700 canonical or non-canonical ?

dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 1.1.1.1 dmac-output-list 700

Can anyone help me to clarify ?
