See the discussion in RFC 1123 section 2.1: "a valid host name can never
have the dotted-decimal form #.#.#.#, since at least the highest-level
component label will be alphabetic."
True, at least to the present... See RFC 3696 (where the top-level
is not numeric 1123 reference is also mentioned); if ICANN goes
crazy, that rule might not apply in the future.
You mean, like a possible ".911" TLD? <g>
