If they nest, then yes. if the x. under onion is hash denoted only for other reasons, but otherwise is a truly encompassing domain, then yes. If it has a SOA. and NS, and there is a clear zonecut, its not just a domain, its a DNS domain. But we know that isn't how its going to work: this is a

My private comment bears repeating in public. DOMAIN names is about the property of domains. Domains are encompassing, set-theory/venn-diagram style. A domain and a prefix are analogous concepts. One is expressed syntactically somehow, the other is a mathematical property of bounding in a number
