?

I'm suggesting that there are technical reasons why strings comprised  
of all numbers and those that start with 0x and contain hex digits  
should not be TLD labels.

In theory, the limitation against all-numeric/hex TLD labels should  
not need to be made.  However, in theory, a label can support any  
octet value between 0 and 255 yet the IETF has gone to great lengths  
to greatly limit the values within "hostname" labels...
