Would you be further humbled if the ipad accepted http://CXXVII.I also?

I'm never writing anything that positively accepts 127.1, or 0127.000.000.0001 as a valid address no matter what garbage implementations do.

The issue we have with this are situations when we have to accept only inputs that are domain names which are sure not to be treated as an IP address by some software downstream of us.
