Comment:
Hi,
RFC 1178 says "Don't use non-alphanumeric characters in a name" and
according to its first paragraph, it's merely a set of guidelines.
For more technical details, the wikipedia article on hostnames has some
good references:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname#Restrictions_on_valid_host_names
The valid characters according to RFC 952 are [a-z0-9-], which is what
django uses.
