No.  You can define anything you like, in any form you like.
Basically, think of it as being given a chunk of bytes attached to an
OpenPGP key.  You can put anything you want in there, in any format
you want, to be parsed however you want.  You completely own the
format.  OpenPGP then guarantees that your bytes cannot be tampered
with, using the same protection that it uses for regular user ID
strings.

I'm stuck at this point. If I specify to use multiple types I'm not sure
how to easily group the additional information to particular hostnames
or wildcards.

Would anyone have any suggestions at this point in time?
