Funny you should say that, because RFC 1123 section 2.1 _also_ says, "However, a valid host name can never have the dotted-decimal form #.#.#.#, since at least the highest-level component label will be alphabetic." Therefore, I think appealing to the RFC 1123 rules for this case is going to be tricky.
