I did find http://spf.pobox.com/dns.html which seems to involve odd
notions of which characters are valid in DNS names and a reasonable
notion of names that are not already in use.
(SPF was described in
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/working-groups/asrg/current/msg05360.html
as RMX+DMP = SPF, though it does add the rDNS idea for dealing with
domains that don't have a DMP record.)
There has been much debate about what characters can be in DNS.
'_' is allowed by the software.
The RFCs are less clear about what is allowed.
At one point, '/' was a legal character, then it wasn't, then it was again.
If anyone can provide a definitive answer I'd be very surprised,
as far as I know there isn't a consensus.
