They are not required according to the RFC (see guy's email for a full discussion). When I did a quick look I couldn't find any other interface documents (telnet, etc.) that required anything other than dotted decimals for IP translation, either, but I can't say for certain that's entirely true. Anyway, when it comes to URLs, the fact that they work is an artifact of the code, not the specification.
