Damned if I know, partner.

You'll note that I very cautiously said "the xhost manpage says...", and
pointed out that I'd deliberately eschewed usage of xhost entirely up

But you can answer your question for yourself using one or both of the
following two time-tested methods:

1.  Experiment.
2.  Read the Fine Source Code.
