I don't need to. You should understand that we are talking of "identity" 
here and not of some DNS resolution/searching rule. FQDN in this context 
means "unique hostname identifying a machine". Just read RFC 2821 by it's 
*meaning*. It doesn't ask for a well defined string of some technically 
clearly forced format which doesn't bear any meaning, it asks for 
*identity*.

I suggest you try getting the meaning of those definitions. A definition 
is not the sum of its words. Just because you can put "whatever." in a 
resource record and it won't expand when resolving that doesn't mean it's 
an FQDN. Full stop. I won't say anything more about FQDNs.
