s-c-network: legit hosts file entries

I was about to file a bz about how system-config-network doesn't like a 
legit /etc/hosts file. It complains:
wrong hostname
wrong alias
, to stuff that I think is legit:

- it dislikes [_] at all. [_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.ldap.myweb.com.au] is a 
name that windows PC's lookup, and seems to be legit.

- it dislikes a trailing - in an alias.

Or is it just an overzealous parsing {in s-c-network} ?

{ Actually it was a previous s-c-n that screwed some of the entries up 
in the first place}.
