The modified text I offered is intended to handle several coverage problems 
with the original text, including the one you cite.  Are you suggesting that 
it does not succeed?  If so, what text do you instead suggest?

The problem really isn't wildcards, it's that people can put garbage in 
the DNS.  So I'd suggest simplifying it to something like this:

<t hangText="NOTE:">The TXT records retrieved from the DNS might not be 
syntactically valid DKIM keys, and client code SHOULD be prepared to
discard invalid records.</t>
