In case anyone is wondering why this is problematic, during the Ballot
169 review process, Peter Bowen ran a check against the top 10,000 Alexa
domains and noted that more than 400 sites returned a HTTP 200 response
for a request to
http://www.$DOMAIN/.well-known/pki-validation/4c079484040e32529577b6a5aade31c5af6fe0c7
[1]. A number of those included the URL in the response body, which
would presumably be good enough for GoDaddy's domain validation process
if they indeed only check for a HTTP 200 response.
