 I understand that `uname -n`'s behaviour may be inconvenient to you, but
 I do not see why it is not compliant. An FQDN seems a valid "name of
 this node within an implementation-defined communications network".
 
 You can use shell-specific prompt expansions that generate the hostname
 without domain, or myhost=`uname -n`; myhost=${myhost%%.*}.
