This is true in only some contexts.  Email, for example - SMTP does not
permit underscores in domain names appearing in SMTP commands and
responses.  In most other contexts, underscores and miscellaneous other
characters are permitted but discouraged.  See, for example, the first
paragraph of page 5 of RFC 2317.

All 256 octets are legal in DNS labels; any (supposedly)
general-purpose DNS server that doesn't support them is broken.
