It's a valid address, just not a valid _URL_.

It’s not even a valid representation of the address (you need brackets )

The brackets are only needed for URLs, scp, and a few other things, due to the fact that ports are specified with colons. Usually you don't see them in a CIDR.

Brackets are in the RFC

I looked through RFC 2373 and found precisely nothing. Which RFC?

It's a valid adress, as a network engineer I've never used brackets.

No fibbing. Network devices don't use brackets.
