I never heard of TLD with more than 4 characters. Is this recent?
This classes that I mentioned with this regular expression are used by
more than 10.000 users. If this was a problem already, I should have

I just followed the BNF of the RFC to figure which characters would
eventually be valid. At least it does not exclude valid characters.
