Some DNS implementations are not kind to special characters in domain
names, e.g. the "/" used in the above examples. As [3] makes clear,
these are legal, though some might feel unsightly. Because these are
not host names the restriction of [2] does not apply. Modern clients
and servers have an option to act in the liberal and correct fashion.

But thinking about it a bit more I wondered if the above statement also
applies to the RHS of a PTR RR and I think you are completely right.
So let's change the
14.0/27.0.10.dyn.example.com
to
14.0-27.0.10.dyn.example.com
;-)
