Ok I have to admit to being wrong, that wasn't at all what I expected
and I am still a bit confused by what I found.
Using a fragment like this and test with v3.0.5120.0:
<iis:WebSite Id="WebSite" Description="Default Web Site" SiteId="*">
<iis:WebAddress Id="TestWebSite" Port="1" />
</iis:WebSite>
The following work:
1. If WebSite/@SiteId="*" then a case sensitive match on
WebSite/@Description happens.
2. If WebSite/@SiteId matches the site id than WebSite/@Description is
ignored and a match on site id happens.
3. If WebSite/@SiteId has any value WebAddress/@Port is ignored
(although the syntax requires it and it can't be 0).
4. If WebSite/@SiteId is missing WebAddress/@Port is used and
WebSite/@Description is ignored.
5. Once a website is created and gets site id, you can rename it
(therefore its site id is not the hash of its name), the
WebSite/@SiteId="*" syntax will match on the WebSite/@Description.
If anyone can think of any other scenarios I will test them.

Perhaps it depends upon the version of the code? I am developing on top
of 3.0.4923.0. I wouldn't be so adamant, except that I have just
recently been working with the IIS code, and that is the EXACT behavior
I was looking for for the installations and upgrades of our sites, and I
haven't made any such modification.
Looking back through the local SubVersion repository that I use for my
local changes (and to track the changes from each time I upgrade from
the CVS repository), I see that the functionality was added somewhere
between 3.0.4624.0 and 3.0.4923. This is also where "*" was added as a
valid choice for SiteId.
Traipsing through CVS, (rev 1.65 is 3.0.4624.0 for wixver.h; is there a
tag structure in the CVS repository to find files by WiX version? It's
been so long since I've had to maintain a CVS repository), I tracked
down the change in rev 1.17 of scaweb.cpp. Judging by the dates, this
corresponds to 3.0.4805. As I said, I can only really give advice
regarding the version I'm using. I do, however, make sure that the
behavior is within the official WiX code-base and not part of my
modifications (at least until I'm done with the current deployment and
have time to clean up the code and submit it for inclusion).
