I don't think you can even say that there *isn't* a wildcard if those two 
queries do return different RDATA, since you have no way of knowing whether the 
two responses were generated in the same way (from the same zone revision, from 
the same server, using the same response logic).

I am mildly intrigued by the idea that we could just get rid of wildcards. They 
made more sense in a world of static zones with occasional distribution than 
they do in a world where individual servers can comfortably synthesise signed 
answers at response time.
