checked again the ML archive, and the message that is relevant to this
thread is this:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/netmod/PISOifrtow4oWLGW7meBBSri7nM/

The aim of that proposal was to limit the "inet:host" type to DNS names
that are reasonable as host names, i.e. eliminate values like "." or "_".
