I haven't checked where the source or the dots check originated.
Using a "fully-qualified domain name" would sidestep the bug but let's not
introduce workarounds if we can fix the bug and I contend that localhost by
itself arguably already is a FQDN.
I have not found Internet standards prohibiting single-level domain names
(unlikely though they may be), but I have found RFC 1912 and RFC 2606 that
sanction localhost.
