Looks very parsable to me.

Why? What are the different possible interpretations that make this
ambiguous?

Note that the [...] syntax was introduced for URLs, where there is in
fact an ambiguity without the brackets, namely that if you have e.g.

http://2001:620::8080/

then you don't know whether that means HTTP to port 80 on the host
with IPv6 address 2001:620::8080, or to port 8080 on the host with
IPv6 address 2001:620::.
