 ...is _anything_ (apart from periods) excluded from domain names these
 days? :)

 Changed to \w{8} for testing. Can you provide examples of needing more
 than \w?

I doubt it matters for this particular rule, but dash characters are valid in domain names too right?

\w seems to be alpha, numeric and underscore. Underscore isn't valid in a domain name.

True.

Let's let this version go through a masscheck cycle and then I'll change it to [-\w]{8}
