I think giving an error on an illegal character is a better idea than 
silently changing it to something else. If it's not supported, it's not 
supported; the admin should be made aware of that, and manually change 
it to something that is allowed.

Sorry - you're moving much too fast for me to keep up! :-)

I think it's a good idea for your patch to just cover DNS-related items, 
and we can put the others into a different patch.
