I just had one of our guys have a quick look at a sample of real life response traffic. 0.015% appears to have a numeric tld. Having a quick look at that sample I see service discover on IP addresses being performed (i.e. recent code). I also see raw IP addresses. I see what appears to be IP addresses being used as a search list element.
