Good point. We need to be explicit here. We had originally modelled the
calendar addresses after RFC 1738 which allows either domain names of a
network host or the IP address as 4 dotted numbers.

I am interested in what others think.  What are the issues with allowing
the dotted IP address?

BTW. RFC 2038 is entitled "RTP Payload Format for MPEG1/MPEG2 Video".
You weren't really referring to that one were you?
