+// meaning (and canonicalization) of the components. This means it is possible
+// to call this for sub-components of a host name without corruption.
+//
+// As an example, "01.02.03.04.com" is a canonical hostname. If you called
+// CanonicalizeHost on the substring "01.02.03.04" it will get "fixed" to
+// "1.2.3.4" which will produce an invalid host name when reassembled. This
+// can happen more than one might think because all numbers by themselves are
+// considered IP addresses; so "5" canonicalizes to "0.0.0.5".
+//
+// Be careful: Because Punycode works on each dot-separated substring as a
+// unit, you should only pass this function substrings that represent complete
+// dot-separated subcomponents of the original host. Even if you have ASCII
+// input, percent-escaped characters will have different meanings if split in
+// the middle.
+//
+// Returns true if the host was valid. This function will treat a 0-length
+// host as valid (because it's designed to be used for substrings) while the
+// full version above will mark empty hosts as broken.
