Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying people should ignore the RFC1035
standards. I'm just saying its possible. The one's I'm aware of are all
companies using 'In-House' mail systems designed to either keep the mail
staying in-house, and/or prevent outside mail from getting in.
But, as pointed out, this group should be following the RFC1035 standard.

Where you say "Owners, please update them
with a proper hostname instead of
the literal IP address." I would like to point out that it is entirely
possible to have an IP address that has no HOSTNAME assigned to it at all.
The most common are used for mail. I use 2 that are setup this way for
security reasons.
MX records must point to a hostname. Here's a good description of why:

But the bottom line is: it's the spec.
