As a default for Mac OS X, computer name is asked to be
input when started up first time, while IP address is
not.  That name is also set as hostname, but installation
of inn assumes, I believe, requiring a little bit higher
experience of unix.  I agree with your opinion that system
misconfiguration should not be helped by application, but
there is a case that someone like me uses inn as stand
alone server w/o dns service.  So, I think we should take
care of it.
