That's a good point, but there's no reason for it to be required... it 
really depends on whether a CA will issue an appropriate cert.  A 
certificate that contains CN=*.wikipedia.org, 
subjectAltName:wikipedia.org would work fine.  StartSSL does include the 
appropriate subjectAltName in their (non-wildcard) certs; RapidSSL does 
not.  I don't have a wildcard StartSSL certificate around to check.

Not sure what "local" means (presumably USA? ;-) but I've never heard of 
this either -- which is not to say it doesn't happen, but there's a 
limit to how much ISP brokenness the WMF can reasonably work around.
