Also IPv4 does have some allowed weird notations. Like 127.1 is equal to 127.0.0.1 or can represent it as decimal number. Or hex notation. Or some tools support octal... Which some also do not sort nicely. Specially when combined.

If you think these are weird I have bad news about ipv6

Anecdata but I have never seen shortened IPv4 notation. I've only ever seen the full decimal notation.

Those representations for 127.0.0.1 work too, just try to ping them: 0177.1 (octal, 2 stripped 0s, decimal one) 017700000001 (octal) 2130706433 (decimal) 127.0.0x1 0x7f.0x0.0x0.0x1 127.000.000.001
