Two issues: (1) If I type [12345678900] into the omnibox, the suggestion is http://223.220.28.52/ (the integer cast into an IPv4 address). It seems that this would be a way for spammers to obscure the IP address of their servers. Firefox and other browsers handle this differently. From a user standpoint, if I was typing "123signup.com", when I type the "123" I see 0.0.0.123 in the suggestion and could get confused. Of course, as I type the "s" of "signup" everything clears up, but it seems like a usability issue none the less.
(2) If I type [10.10.010.10] the omnibox rewrites it as 10.10.8.10. When I've seen other software do that it was an indication that a libc function was used to convert the octets, and that concerns me (not all operating systems have secure libc's). It also provides many new ways for spammers to obscure their URLs. (0x123 works too).
