It only specifies that wildcard(s) are valid for 1 level of hostname(s),
it doesn't clarify the issue of multiple wildcards per hostname(s) being
valid or not and this is where the browsers start doing their own thing.

That's the whole point of this draft, people (including myself) want
more than just a hostname(s), otherwise we could have just re-used the
user-id field for the dns name(s).
