PIX vs. IOS

Why does PIX use the subnet mask instead of the wildcard mask when defining access-lists, ospf nets, etc. ?

For example:

the IOS way to configure OSPF on all interfaces in a Class B subnet:

"network 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0"

the PIX way to configure OSPF on all interfaces in a Class B subnet:

"network 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 area 0"
 
Because thats how Finesse worked when Cisco bought it, and they havent changed it.

FOS 7.0 is supposed to be very close to IOS. Cisco is trying to make FOS more and more like IOS to reduce the syntax confusion going between the two.
