does not work in chrome
I tried in Chrome 16.0.912.41 beta-m and 17.0.953.0 canary, both
instantly changed the displayed URL to "18.18.18.18" then timed out
trying to browse.
Works in the latest Google Chrome 15 as well.

http://0xAD.0xC2.0x21.0x34/ (which actually has a web server on it)
works in both versions of Chrome.
Interestingly, when I clicked on that one, Thunderbird gave me a warning:

Thunderbird thinks this message is a scam. The links in the message may
be trying to impersonate web pages you want to visit. Are you sure you
want to visit 173.194.33.52?

So it's not just browsers that can work with these obnoxious urls.

Firefox treats it as :

     Unable to determine IP address from host name for /0xad.0xc2.0x21.0x34/
     Name Error: The domain name does not exist.

Try "http://0xad.0xc2.0x21.0x34/";
