Really? I have been rather unwilling to participate here in the last
month because of all the mudslinging regarding the NDSOFTWARE pTLA
request (to which I felt I could add very little), but this is
something that really surprises me.

I have learned that hosts should, for convinience, be addressed by a
host name, most commonly found in the DNS. If there is no such name,
or that this for some other reason is not practical or even usable, IP
addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) are just as valid. IP works with
addresses, not host names.

Since when is using IP addresses to reference hosts deprecated? Does
anyone have any idea what RFC Jeroen is talking about, or maybe you
remember the first two digits of the number Jeroen? (Just to get the
general idea about where to look.)

Or did I misunderstand what you wrote?
