Re: [whatwg/url] Canonicalised IPv4 concept allows for obfuscating real dest IP in URL (#456)

> Some OS-level resolvers have this kind of behavior so it's better if the browser canonicalizes and makes the actual destination clear to the user than let that depend on the underlying network stack.

yes, but this means static URLs can obfuscate the actual destination. It only becomes clear when the request is made, which may not be visible to the user.

Also, I don't understand the translation from three digits to a four octet IPv4 
What is actually happening with `10.0.514` -> `10.0.2.2` ?
