I'm curious if somebody can produce an example, where NO-WS-CTL
is actually needed in "domain literals" of an existing network
using SMTP and/or the Internet Message format.  At the moment I
still think that it's not even "backwards compatible", it's a
hypothetical "IPvFuture" construct incompatible with RFC 3986.
