Yes, I believe that plus the wildcard DNS entry (
*.url-testing.w3c-test.org ) would be all the infrastructure required
for testing how the path and query components come across the wire, and
for testing hostnames as well.  So I suppose we could break this into
two groups of test cases:

1. Testing the URL transmitted in a GET request
2. Testing the the hostname transmitted in the HTTP Host header

For that second group, it would require the wildcard DNS entry to allow
for any arbitrary subdomain requests to resolve via DNS, and
subsequently be compared for the original and expected values from tests
such as the following:

foo.url-testing.w3c-test.org
天気の良い日.url-testing.w3c-test.org
xn--nxasmq6b.url-testing.w3c-test.org
fa\u00DF.url-testing.w3c-test.org
