This option is currently not provided in BIND9 is probably going to be
deprecated. Internationalised domain names will mean that there are
likely to be valid ASCII-fied representations of a Japanese (say)
hostname that won't comply with English/American syntax for a valid
hostname defined in RFC952. See the BIND9 migration notes in
doc/misc/migration about compatibility issues when upgrading to BIND9.
