Are we going to open again the question whether the DNS protocol can handle any
value in the octets, as compared to the hostname definition that says something
more limited? ;-)

Let's just say that there doesn't appear to be disagreement that the DNS
can handle a-z/0-9/'-'.
Other values _may or may not_ be permitted or handled opaquely in the
lookup, AFAICT. It remains a question AFAICT.
