Come up with a convention and stick to it. Bracketed network/host, trailing port. Shoot anyone who does it any other way. Ignore case in network/host...and yes you need to be able to do this. Counting on some other system to do the right thing is silly.

Do you see the contradiction in these statements?

Why yes, thank you. But without being morbidly explicit joining these phrases without context could put someone in jail...and that is what you did there. My point was to pick
a convention and enforce it and (secondly) that using some agency ( I believe postgresql, various APIs, were mentioned throughout) is silly imho. People are going to use strings and parse them. Just make it the same format everywhere.
