On the other hand, the description says:

    It is designed to hold various types of domain names, 
    including
    names used for A or AAAA records (host names) and other 
    records, ...

So one could expect that all values that can appear e.g. in A/AAAA 
records of DNS zone data are supported, which is not the case.

My suggestion is to remove the above sentence from the description 
in the next revision, and leave the rest to DNS folks. There are 
other interesting issues, such as how to model internationalized 
domain names.
