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).
