No, I don't think so.  IIRC we're also missing domain checks on
parameter values in Bind messages, and there might be some other
holes too.  See the archives.

I made a suggestion about closing all these holes at once by
integrating domain checking into the I/O functions for domains,
but it's not clear how to do that without a big performance hit.
