Well, at least with DNSSEC, you can assure the end user that the wildcarding was intentional (through validation), I dont see why those systems shouldn't be acceptant of intentionally obscured hosts in the future ? Saying that, I quite like the idea of dynamically providing a response to both AAAA and PTR queries but question how safe it would be to cache these without a robust resource-managing implementation...
