That isn't even close to "all possible sources of error". You would seem to draw the line at "administrative procedures for managing/delegating DNS names" (if DNS is to be used). PHB would appear to draw the line _much_ further out. I'm trying to understand what the scope of this discussion is (perhaps only to try to figure out if this is a philosophical discussion or actually trying to get something done).
