Does this mean I have to type in URLs like:

I can only image phonetically calling these off on a support call, I'd get half way through it and the other end would tell me to "forget it I'll wait until DNS is working again".
In fact with DNS problems we'd be pretty much crippled.
I'd use IPv6 if the addresses weren't so hard to remember.

Well in fact I don't think that will even work with the present URL rules. Just on a lark I clicked on your string, and my firefox interpreted it as http://3ffe:1900. Unless there's a special http protocol string for ipv6?

Since : is used to denote the port you must put the IPv6 address in brackets.
