Can you share some examples please ? In general, we should abide by standards unless we have a really good reason. In my experience I always had to replace underscores by dashes for a reason or another in hostnames that were setup by people who don't read RFCs anyway, so I'm not sure Django itself can make a big difference. Nonetheless, can't you override the validation on your side ?
