On the other hand, URL need brackets because URL port (+ password) delimiter is the same as IPv6 IP's group delimiter - in this case [] are needed in _every_ case, but again - only when we are using _literal_ IPv6 address, not name. In an URL brackets are important to use because ambiguity can be occurred very easily.
