My bastard browser from hell eats http://[208.77.188.166]/

It's certainly no STD 66 URL.  But it won't surprise me if
the URL-bis, charset-bis, net_2.0-bis, MIME-bis, XHTML-bis,
(etc. ad nauseam) effort styling itself as "HTML5" decrees
that this is as it should be based on current practice in
the browser industry.

That would be also the moment where I'd welcome a new TLD 
"6]" just to prove a "subtle" technical point.

So far nobody disagreed with RFC 1123 erratum 1335.  FWIW
that also eliminates "6]" from the list of potential TLDs.
