Won't remove checks for hostname correctness. This would result in unwanted side
effects.
OOo is a multiplatform office suite. Those hostnames with special characters are
not conform with RFC 952. Nevertheless it's common pratise on Windows to use
underscores in hostnames, so we support them for pragmatic reasons.
But - when you specify a computer name with non-standard characters Windows
warns you that other computers might not find your host when using non-standard
characters. At least when you try to access to host from Linux you'll have a
problem.
The warning Window XP displays has a good reason
You might state that other progs like MS Office don't care such hostnames.
But...
- is MS Office also running on Linux f.e. ? - No
- is it a good idea to give computers non RFC conform hostnames ? - No
Or look at this issue #49889 (Crash is bad therefor it's still open)
Same stuff..... for me it means "You want a problem ? O.K. you'll get one".
