So, I think I am in alignment with Sean. The hostname component should return a 400 if there is an illegal character in the string, such as a period. We also should use Punycode to store/handle unicode hostnames correctly. [...]

So to be clear, you're suggesting that if someone asks for an instance name which can't be converted to a (legal) hostname, then the nova boot call be rejected outright, even though there are likely plenty of people who 1. (manually) align their instance names with FQDNs, and 2. don't use the hostname metadata anyway? -- Jeremy Stanley
