As per RFC 1035 - 2.3.1:

Domain names must follow the rules for ARPANET host names.  They must start 
with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only 
letters, digits, and hyphen.

Yes, you are right. 

But as per RFC 1123 - 2.1
"the restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a letter or 
a digit."

as per RFC 2181 - 11. Name syntax
"any binary string can serve as the value of any record that includes a domain 
name as some or all of its value (SOA, NS, MX, PTR, CNAME, and any others that 
may be added)."

It would be fine allow to let set checking domain name at least according RFC 
1123.

in-addr.arpa domains don't start with a letter either... I'm having problems 
with a reverse zone due to this same problem.
