Writing leading zeroes for IPv4 address is not prevalent; by the

So I am inclined to let sleeping dogs lie.

However, if the sponsoring AD or anyone monitoring this list feels
strongly, I don't mind adding a sentence or two to this effect in
the draft.

I don't feel strongly about it. But now that you mention it, I think I remember some question about octal ports coming up on one of the mailing lists some time in the past.

I also don't feel *strongly* about it. Lets see if anybody else has something to say about it.

For what it's worth, typing "http://www.ietf.org:080/"; into Firefox, Safari, and MSIE all takes me to the IETF's web page (interpreting "080" as 80, not 64). So, at least for HTTP URLs, there's a de facto interpretation of leading zeros in a port as padding, not an indication of octal.
