(sigh) You're right.  I could swear that just before I posted my comment I
had read (parts of) a rant (with examples) about how Microsoft disregards
the DNS hostname rules on the Internet, but maybe I was hallucinating - I
now can't find anything like that anywhere on the WWW.  Given Microsoft's
history I've gotten into the habit of assuming any account of their
misbehavior to be true but, of course, that isn't license to repeat crap.
