I would like someone to explain to me exactly why disallowing literal
addresses in IPv6 URLs should not be allowed. (Kind of a double negative,
sorry.) I mean, I'm advocating that we bar them from URLs and nothing
else. Typing "ping aaaa:bbbb::cc:d" from a console or anything is just
fine, but why work so hard to find a way to use them as URLs? I'm just not
seeing it ...

Are you trying to tell us that you get up incredibly early, just to spend an
hour reading news and not having any breakfast? [...] I'm aghast that any
human being would ever leave the sweet arms of Morpheus, unless forced to by
powers beyond his control.
