Hi, Actually I was referring to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.2.3, which explicitly states, that a leading . in the domain attribute value should be ignored by the user-agent. This implied for me, that a leading . is allowed. You're right with other specs, like https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1034#section-3.5, which says, that the domain name must start with a letter.

You'll need to back up that statement with references to the spec that support that position.
