Yes. The docs say different things, that's why I asked in the other 
e-mail for the standard...

My offline Winsock 1 reference ("winsock.hlp") says:

---
SOCKET PASCAL FAR socket ( int af, int type, int protocol );

af    An address format specification.  The only format currently 
supported is PF_INET, which is the ARPA Internet address format.

The MSDN's Winsock 2 reference for socket() doesn't say a word about the 
constant that should be used.
Some articles there use AF_INET, but reference implementations mostly 
use PF_INET (e.g.: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/ipv6_enabled_server_code_2.asp 
).
