It's 100% true that underscores in hostnames are completely invalid and should definitely not be used. That's basic DNS.

In general I think delving too much into the content of macros to validate the content is beyond the scope of WADF as a templating tool as it crosses the boundary where WADF treats the content of macros as opaque (except for replacing ** and %%).

Closing on the basis that this should be done in a different layer, e.g. Apache HTTPD
