        OK, great. Yeah, we modified our Caller ID implementation to accept it
because webtv was doing it.

        I'll just be glad to have it stated that we do have to read IPs written
that way.

Similarly "ipv4" and "ipv6" being synonyms for "ip4" and
"ip6", and "a:1.2.3.4" being interpreted as "ip4:1.2.3.4".
That seems to happen rather often.

        Yeah, "liberal in what you accept" certainly doesn't do any harm,
there. :-)
