The language in RFC 2818 is narrower than this. It allows '*' to match only
the first label.
(Note that `*` will be rendered in text as "*" and HTML as a bare * in
fixed-width font, which might not be visible. Consider using explicit quotes:
"*" instead. I have an open ticket on xml2rfc about this point:
https://trac.ietf.org/trac/xml2rfc/ticket/647 though that has spawned an
interesting email chain.)
