Description
Currently, the error message is simply
"The domain name provided is not valid according to RFC 1034/1035."
Most tickets filed against this topic is about how underscores should be allowed. I agreed with Django's choice to invalidate underscores.
https://github.com/django/django/pull/594 explains this clearly.
However, the error message can be clearer.
I recommend when underscore is detected, simply make it more explicit
" %r contains _ and that is not valid according to RFC 1034/1035." % domain
Otherwise, "The domain name provided is not valid according to RFC 1034/1035."
