Hi, Jeroen,
Are you talking about
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2732.txt (PS)?
My quick read of this RFC is that it says "don't use IPv6
literals without enclosing them in brackets", as in
host = hostname | IPv4address | IPv6reference
ipv6reference = "[" IPv6address "]"
But that's not quite the same thing you said: "never use IPv6
IP's in URL's".
If you're talking about another reference, could you provide it?
A quick RFC search for "IPv6 URL" turned up only this RFC...
Thanks,
Spencer

IE in XP doesn't support it. "Host" is now an integral
part of HTTP/1.1 and one can't even do without it anymore.
