<p dir="auto" style="color: #333238; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">The result of doing rough checking of DNS validity on receive is it makes the library conservative on reception, liberal on send. This is the exact opposite of the need of interoperability. Further while IPv6 addresses were being rejected by the rough test, IPv4 addresses were being accepted. This can enhance shadow networks and increase trouble, rather than reducing it.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #333238; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">I suspect most server programs using GnuTLS can likely deal with more or less arbitrary names. As such, rejecting nul characters is about the only reasonable test. I believe this means the existing tests continue to behave.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #333238; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">I'm quite unsure of how the situation should be handled, but the mismatch between IPv4/IPv6 addresses and the checking on reception not send are both <strong style="font-weight: 600; margin-top: 0;">highly</strong> problematic.</p>
