Comment:

 Right now, updating a site through `site-info.php` does only
 `strtolower()` on the domain before sending it to be updated.

 Adding a site through `site-new.php` restricts it to `[a-zA-Z0-9-]`. We
 could cheat a bit and make that `[a-zA-Z0-9-.]` for now, just to allow for
 `.` to be entered on new sites, though we'd still be ignoring a bunch of
 valid characters for domains.

 I think @tlovett1's [attachment:176397.diff] is likely the right answer
 here until something like #17948 is used to revamp the experience
 entirely. It applies cleanly on trunk at the moment.
