Description
isDomainName is limited to hostname-compatible "preferred name" LDH labels, with an exception made for underscores per #1167. But RFC 2181 is clear about any octet being valid in a DNS label:
Those [length] restrictions aside, any binary string whatever can be used as the label of any resource record.
