Kirk,
Thanks for putting this together. I have one request; ISO/DIS 21188 section
5.12.3 makes it clear that a wildcard name is not a Fully Qualified Domain
Name. I had started to put together a set of changes to clarify this
independent of this ballot. The changes are available at
https://github.com/cabforum/documents/compare/master...pzb:underscores?expand=1
<https://github.com/cabforum/documents/compare/master...pzb:underscores?expand=1>
Would you consider adopting a definition closer to the one I proposed ("A
Domain Name consisting of "\*." (U+002A ASTERISK, U+002E FULL STOP) prepended
to a Fully-Qualified Domain Name.”)?
Thanks,
Peter
