 In your previous mail you wrote:

   I thought the decision was to express the IPv6 address in hexadecimal
   without the ":"s, i.e., just 32 contiguous hex digits, which is even
   less user-friendly than the standad represenatation, but at least
   usable by humans in a pinch and certainly usable by automatons.
   
=> I see two problems with this new proposal:
 - it doesn't work with standard cut and paste
 - it is still ambiguous because it has the same syntax than
   a name (ie a label of a DNS host name).
