I'm sure that everybody thinks that dotted-decimal strings in SIP URIs are to be interpreted as decimal. And for that matter, that series of HEXDIG's are to be interpreted as hexidecimal. Whether that is, strictly speaking, syntax or not, I don't know. But it appears that neither of these facts has been stated in plain words, and in an unpleasantly large number of situations, code may not follow that convention. As long as we're explicating the syntax, it seems reasonable to enunciate what "everybody knows" about its interpretation.
