However all the registrars that I checked state those rules as a
restriction on valid domain names. Bind also treats _ as illegal,
unless you explicitly prevent it doing so... and our dear friends at a
well known large Redmond based software company utilize these rules to
hide some authentication data in an illegally named DNS zone :-)
