 > Why? What purpose?
 What's the purpose of relaying over the wire bogus requests that will fail
 eventually? What's the purpose of waiting for the exit relay to fail DNS
 resolution and report back, when it could have been immediately stopped
 locally? What's the purpose of messing input validation and acting on data
 that should have been discarded?
 Or did I miss something?

 > Why do you think it's illegal hostname? What if I'll register 0x2a TLD?
 As the above syntax shows, `.0x2a` is not a valid TLD: `.com` is.
