i agree with this interpretation, which means, it's the spec itself
that's wrong, not hugo's interpretation of it. the internet people
didn't love .UUCP addresses either but that didn't stop them from working.

what the internet should be doing is defining escape mechanisms for
non-internet systems, rather than saying "we are the only thing you can
use".
