But it won't surprise me if the URL-bis, charset-bis, net_2.0-bis, MIME-bis, XHTML-bis, (etc. ad nauseam) effort styling itself as "HTML5" decrees that this is as it should be based on current practice in the browser industry.

So far nobody disagreed with RFC 1123 erratum 1335. FWIW that also eliminates "6]" from the list of potential TLDs.
