What part of that item says that a numerical address disqualifies the string as
being a URL?

Here's your chance to teach *me* something.

Why isn't http://88.198.244.100/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier a URL?

Do you think I might have misunderstood this?

"One can classify URIs as locators (URLs), or as names (URNs), or as
both. A Uniform Resource Name (URN) functions like a person's name,
while a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) resembles that person's street
address. In other words: the URN defines an item's identity, while the
URL provides a method for finding it."
