My understanding is that wildcards don't work for SRV because the _prefixes are used to disambiguate which service you are asking for, effectively to extend the RR TYPE number space. So if you wildcard a SRV record then the target port has to support every possible protocol :-) If you are using an _prefix without any meaning of its own but only to move a record away from the apex (so that it can be delegated or CNAMEd) and also using a specific RR type or an RDATA prefix, then wildcards do not conflict.
