I think that we generally expect people to use a string, literally, "example.com"
and I think that the words "network byte order" might be what confuses.
Maybe some people would use RFC1035 sequence of labels format though.
In the end, it doesn't matter as along as the entity creating the name-based
UUID says what they did. Still, I agree that it would be good if we gave
more advice here.
Are there some references you would suggest here, assuming that we just want
a string.
