An exciting aspect about teaching is "what questions will I get today?", and I wasn't disappointed.

"Why was a dot chosen to separate labels in presentation for DNS names?"

I mumble something about it being neater than a '#' and less strange than a '$' and that it's easy to type, but I really don't know.

I can't find a reason in RFC 1034/1035.

Do you know?
