Yes, please.

Also, I'm not sure about this from draft-sullivan-domain-policy-authority-01:

   Historically, policies were sometimes based on the DNS tree.  Early
   policies made a firm distinction between top-level domains and
   everything else; but this was also too naive, and later attempts were
   based on inferences from the domain names themselves.

I think the distinction is going to be one part of the solution.
There's no reason non-browser software should be matching "*.com" and
"*.co.uk" by default (and friends like "www.*.com" and "www.*.co.uk").
If you asked 100 developers if that's what they wanted, I would wager
the majority would not want the feature (and be surprised it was
happening).
