Actually it is, <domain-spec> ends with either <toplabel>
or <macro-expand>.

In both cases there's more than only digits:  A <toplabel>
starts with ALPHA, and a <macro-expand> starts with "%{".

there is no TLD for .123 (or whatever).

Hidden in   domain-end = ( "." toplabel ) / macro-expand

John specified it in 3696 among others, and he's supposed
to know what follies ICANN plans, he was the IETF liaison
in (on ? at ? lang=en-DE ;-) the ICANN board.  

I raise a warning on that kind of thing now.

Okay, but in that case it's also a real error.  Bye, Frank
