Cohen on Howard: Chapter 11

Chapter 11 addresses the issue of input validity given canonical representation issues. e.g., http://127.1 is equivalent to http://127.0.0.1 and to http://2130706433

Again, Cohen's comments are accurate. Formal languages and well-defined standard representations would solve the problem; meanwhile, the book presents best practices and suggestions for how to canonicalize input.
