Hi, Tony, You are, of course, right. I think what I meant was, for the specific case of .onion, (what I said), and for the general case, (what you said). I.e. wherever an RFC for specific special use name exists, as linked by the IANA registry, those particular instructions MUST be followed, especially if not following those rules might/would break things (like the case of .onion vs DNS).
