    Your error -- "ARCHER^INVALID.COM" is syntactically invalid because of the
    "^", but it's structurally a valid domain name for the server because it
    consists of two labels of proper length and one of them is "COM". Yes, our
    registry implementation deals with these errors in the same way.
