I think virtual host is still relevant for list. They're conceptually
separate, so often (but not always) you're only interested in one
vhost but not the others.

I think it's worth allowing both forms, it gives the user more
flexibility and lets things "just work". To quote Postel's Law: "be
conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
