If it were true, I would wonder why people never use legal URLs like
<http://[2001:1890:1112:1::20]/>...

(And that's certainly not because they are harder to type or to
remember: the above URL, which works on my Firefox, goes to a Web site
which is mostly for technical people, who are able to use bookmarks,
local files for memory, etc.)
