Section 2.1 says:

           If a dotted-decimal number can be entered without such
           identifying delimiters, then a full syntactic check must be
           made, because a segment of a host domain name is now allowed
           to begin with a digit and could legally be entirely numeric
           (see Section 6.1.2.4).

It should say:

           If a dotted-decimal number can be entered without such
           identifying delimiters, then a full syntactic check must be
           made, because a segment of a host domain name is now allowed
           to begin with a digit and could legally be entirely numeric.

Notes:

The text says "see Section 6.1.2.4", but section 6.1.2.4 is about compression and is not related to section 2.1 at all.

--VERIFIER NOTES--
Perhaps Section 6.1.3.5 was intended.
