The address range 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 is reserved for loopback
testing. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

Hm... since localhost is usually only an alias for 127.0.0.1 it doesn't
really make sense to allow one but not the other.

I was just looking at the UrlValidator test and I noticed that localhost
is allowed in the URL if the ALLOW_LOCAL_URLS flag is set, and it is not
allowed if the ALLOW_LOCAL_URLS flag is not set.
If the ALLOW_LOCAL_URLS is not set, a loopback IP address (127.0.0.1) URL
will validate. It seems to me that it shouldn't - to be consistent with
the
localhost behavior.
What do you think?
