Sigh.

RFC1123              APPLICATIONS LAYER -- GENERAL          October 1989


2. GENERAL ISSUES

   This section contains general requirements that may be applicable to 
   all application-layer protocols.                                     


   2.1  Host Names and Numbers                                          


      The syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952 
      [DNS:4].  One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the   
      restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a   
      letter or a digit.  Host software MUST support this more liberal  
      syntax.
