Yes. Here's a slightly pathologic example that might make the
difference clear:
allow http://*.org/ except http://www.*/
allow http://www.example.org/
In this example, www.example.org is actually permissible, according
to the scheme that I had proposed.
It would be allowed anyway, as * matches a single label... Note also that
the trailing solidus is not actually allowed and puts the thing in error...
But yeah, I can see a case for having them paired. I don't really feel
strongly about this either way, except that this seems to make things
slightly more complicated.
(Actually, I'm having second thoughts about the matching of a
wildcard-label. Should that only match one label or possibly an
entire subdomain? Something's fishy there.)
Not sure.
