On the wildcards issue. We are only talking about restrictions on

If we are going to rely on synthetic wildcards in places
other than the left-most, a similar deployment question
surely needs to be asked:  how many of the deployed
implementations can manage that?

There is also a DNSSEC issue with synthetic wildcards,
but it is secondary to the base question.
