Dear Andrew,

Your modified text missed the concern.

Note:  This document and its predecessors make no provisions for defining correct handling of syntactically invalid <domain-spec> per <xref target="RFC1035"/>.  Syntax related examples include names with empty labels, such as "foo..example.com", and labels that are longer than 63 characters.  Some implementations choose to treat such errors as no-match and therefore ignore such names, while others return a "permerror" exception.  Macro expansion might be handled in a similar fashion irrespective of any related syntax issues.

Regards,
Douglas Otis
