That was correct in ARPANET times, but it's been untrue for quite a
while, even before internationalized domain names became widely
supported. DNS itself (as in the RFCs) does not make such a restriction.
Certain overly conservative client programs may.
Yeah I was generalizing. BIND enforced it up to version 8. V9 changed
it, and will if check_names is explicitly enabled. Internic won't let
you register domains with it
