Another issue that Microsoft raised and Thomas wasn't sure about either is the domain matching. Specifically the wildcard matching. Currently a wildcard matches a single label and nothing more. This means that foo.bar.com doesn't match *.com and does match *.*.com. This allows for things like foo.*.bar.com as well, because if the wildcard could match an arbitrary number of labels here the algorithm for matching would become quite complex and it's not clear that actually does what you'd want. The other idea is only allowing the wildcard at the start. This implies that foo.bar.com matches *.com and that foo.*.bar.com would be illegal (the wildcard can only appear at the start).
