The example in the description is a bit confusing found 
here: https://chromestatus.com/feature/5170361717489664

Before, a permissions policy might need to look like: 

```
permissions-policy: ch-ua-platform-version=(self "https://foo.com"; "
https://cdn1.foo.com"; "https://cdn2.foo.com";) 
```

With this feature, it could look like: permissions-policy: 

```
ch-ua-platform-version=(self "https://foo.com"; "https://*.foo.com";)
```

One would think why not just write: `ch-ua-platform-version=(self "
https://*.foo.com";)` instead. As you're used `foo.com` twice!

----

Would it not be better to use `foo.com` and `example.com` instead e.g.

Before, a permissions policy might need to look like: 

```
permissions-policy: ch-ua-platform-version=(self "https://example.com 
<https://foo.com/>" "https://cdn1.foo.com"; "https://cdn2.foo.com";) 
```

With this feature, it could look like: permissions-policy: 

```
ch-ua-platform-version=(self "https://example.com <https://foo.com/>" "
https://*.foo.com";)
```

Which would make more sense.
