Maybe we should allow IPv6 addresses to be written in dotted quad format with the quads not being limited to 0..255 but instead 0..4294967295</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br>
So instead of writing 2001:4860:4860::8888 we would write 536954976.1214251008.0.34952 which is clearly easier to use.<br>
<br>
bonus: your old regex ^[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*$ will still work</div>
