A word while passing here: is there a document (RFC, Posix standard,
whatever) which says which is the right result in such a case?

RFC 1123 section 2.1, especially the last sentence.

I hadn't noticed the implication of that, before, but it seems to be a pretty clear technical specification that a top-level domain is not allowed to be a decimal number. Ever.

That's a concrete constraint on what ICANN is permitted to authorize.
