I've done this with some customers.  As long as:

1.  Their DNS provider supports it.

2.  They don't mess it up.

it works fine.

underscore is often problematic.  I've had more than one problem with "Not a 
valid hostname" errors.  Of course that's correct, but misses the point that 
not all domain names are host names.  I expect that in time this will change.

The biggest problem is getting non-technical domain owners to correctly 
publish the CNAME.
