COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(4.1) There's an editorial error here.

"An authoritative server might be tempted to provide an IP address literal
inside the protocol: there are two arguments (anti-patterns) for doing this."

I'm expecting two reasons someone might use an IP literal.

"The first is that it eliminates problems with firmware updates that might be
caused by lack of DNS..."

Yep, that tracks.

"The second reason to avoid a IP address literal in the URL is when an inhouse
content-distribution system is involved..."

But this is making the opposite point! It appears that this section is actually
presenting ONE (not two) reason to use IP literals, and then several reasons
that's a bad idea. So say that!
