There are companies that use subdomains for different organizational

this is a provisioning problem that can be solved *before* data is entered
into the DNS. And if those domain names are goingto be used on the net,
there's probably not much value hiding them behind a '*'. So, I'd rather not
see the wildcards stop any prefix based solution.
