Right, so if you want to go strictly by the book, it ought to be
possible to register a key with the trailing dot. Agreed. But that is
different from ignoring it when present while requesting the API.

If you agreed that they are different, then they cannot treat it as an
FQDN which happened to omit the dot, because there could well be two
different web sites set up on each one, and belonging to differnt
owners. :-)

Just to make that more apparent, a quick try of 10 big names yielded 3
domains where the dot. no-dot equivalents lead to apparently different
sites, so I think it is reasonable to assume that this is a common
occurance, though it is by mistake, and not because the administrator
intended to set up different sites:

www.army.mil
www.army.mil.

whitehouse.gov
whitehouse.gov.

fbi.gov
fbi.gov.
