For what it's worth, typing "http://www.ietf.org:080/"; into Firefox,

interpretation of leading zeros in a port as padding, not an indication
of octal.
But that still implies a binary comparison instead of a textual one,
unless the textual comparison is going to understand the zero-padding
and remove it first.


Yes, it does. The question is whether that belongs in the v6 document, or if we need to do a similar rev for port numbers. Seeing as how the issue applies equally to v4 and v6, I'd say that putting it in the v6 document would be an expansion of scope that is inappropriate at the current state of the document's development.

We probably should log it in the bug tracker (bugs.sipit.org), and not address it in the document at hand.
