The agreement reached with the WAF group on the relevant public lists
and now being written up by them and us is that you should include a *
character, so your example, Charles, would be
[] a wdr:ResourceSet;
wdr:includeHosts "example.org";
wdr:excludeHosts "*.example.org";
i.e. example.org implies example.org AND ALL its subdomains.
*.example.org just means the subdomains of example.org but not
example.org itself.
(Actually, we should probably take a formal resolution in the POWDER WG
to do this but it'll come up when we discuss the next iteration of the
Resource Grouping doc)
Phil.
