Mark's comment below about domain name vs. host name character restrictions
made me wonder.  Please consider the following chain of RFC references,
which seem to imply otherwise:

RFC952: Describes host name syntax:
...
RFC1035: Section 2.3.1 describes label syntax for domain names:
...
RFC1101: Describes allowances for domain names that begin with a digit:
...
RFC1123: Updates host name syntax specifications:
...

length.  Did I miss something that points in another direction?
