  Some DNS software definitely has the option to fail queries for
names which contain an underscore.  For example, the MS-DNS server has
a choice for either no name checking, reject non-ASCII characters but
allow anything ASCII, or reject anything except alphanum-and-dash
(which rejects underscore).
