I voted against a prefix.
I did this not just because of the "_" character support issue, but
also because:
-implementing a prefix adds complexity (comprehension complexity if
nothing else)
-many dns providers do not support users adding subdomains (or not
through the UI anyway)
I don't yet understand this. Are you saying that there are DNS
providers who allow you to host your "example.com" domain, but then
only allow you to add DNS records named "example.com"? They wouldn't
allow you to add a record for, say, "www.example.com"? Are there DNS
providers who do not allow this but would allow the addition of a TXT
record?
-prefix does not solve the wildcard issue
What, precisely, is "the wildcard issue"?
