------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Feb 25 18:08:44 +0000 2008 ------- RFC952 not only is 22 years old, but it applies to HOSTS file. I think that RFC 2181 should be applied in our case: "The DNS itself places only one restriction on the particular labels that can be used to identify resource records. That one restriction relates to the length of the label and the full name. The length of any one label is limited to between 1 and 63 octets. A full domain name is limited to 255 octets (including the separators). " "... any binary string whatever can be used as the label of any resource record" In addition to that Vista does not warn you when using national characters for host name, but it encourages users to do so - it offers host name constructed like "username-PC", where "username" is very likely to be non-English for non- English versions of Vista AND "PC" is replaced by language-specific equivalent (which is "ПК" in Russian). This means that with proliferation of Vista we are going to get more and more cases of "I d-click the file in UNC folder, Office starts, but without file". So let's be pragmatic and remove unnecessary and redundant checks, preventing pain for our users and further damage to our reputation. I mean, you do not win hearts by being fundamentalistic and citing verces from RFCs. And we _do_ need all hearts that we can get. Please reconsider WONTFIX and at least allow all chars >32. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
