I'm +1 to this as well.

Please take a look at the conversation Ian and I have been having in
HARMONY-6248.
Unless anyone objects I'm inclined to agree with Ian and modify Harmony
to accept DNSNames that start with a digit, unlike the RI which throws
an exception.
Comments welcome.

Urgh. That's annoying.
I have further RFC wordage to support the position, though. RFC1738
(page 5, section 3.1, 'host' description) says: "Fully qualified domain
names take the form as described in Section 3.5 of RFC 1034 [13] and
Section 2.1 of RFC 1123 [5]: a sequence of domain labels separated by
".", each domain label starting and ending with an alphanumerical
character and possibly also containing "-" characters."
Getting an explicit clarification of RFC3280 and/or RFC1034 from the
ietf, and then getting Sun to update their implementation so the RI
behavior also allows leading digits... doesn't sound like fun.
