In the sense that if the implementation couldn't get that detail right, they probably botched up a lot more than that?

p.s. I do agree that it's important that SMTP implementations permit IP addresses in HELO/EHLO.    An SMTP server is free to reject content based on server policy, but not to complain about syntax errors that don't actually exist.    In other news, I keep wanting to write an I-D (and see if I can get it published) entitled "DNS Is Not, And Cannot Be, Ubiquitous".
