Just so I understand the context for your comments, you're saying that in your opinion:

1. there is no restriction to be inferred from RFC 1123 that TLD labels be alphabetic;

2. it is better for deployed software to break than for the IETF to involve itself in anything resembling policy.

Did I get that right?
