By definition, the pledge hasn't joined a domain yet, so question doesn't
make sense actually.  There isn't a "different domain" yet.

It is only after the voucher has been issued that the pledge knows if it can
join a particular domain.  In the case of nonce-ful logged proximity (no
sales channel integration), the MASA will assign the pledge to whichever
domain the pledge talks to.

If there is a "correct" domain, and the MASA knows about it, then it will
only issue a voucher that way.  An attempt by the "wrong" domain to register
the pledge will result in no voucher.
