It still seems to me that the time to add the wildcards back in would be 
less than the time to do two separate documents.  Unless there's some 
reason that this needs to be published in a hurry, I'd rather get to a 
point where we agree that wildcard synthesis is OK.

Having looked at this probably more than most people, there are some 
points worth clarifying.  Most notably, due to the closest encloser rule, 
it is not possible in general to synthesize every wildcard result but I 
it's possible to synthesize many useful ones.

For example, let's say you query a.foo.example, and get back an answer 
saying it was synthesized from *.foo.example and the NSEC says the next 
name is c.foo.example. Then you can synthesize b.foo.example, but you 
can't synthesize d.foo.example.  That's a limitation, but that's OK.  It 
looks to me like most of the wildcards where this would be useful have no 
exceptions, such as the ones to put all of a IPv6 /64 into a DNS whitelist 
or blacklist.
