The text for the longest match was intended for “typical” domain names. The 
sentence for the root was added late (if I remember well, near or during the 
weirds last call) in the draft that became RFC7484 but I guess nobody thought 
enough of the effect of the combination of both sentences.

I wonder if we should say root is “.” And add a sentence about exact match of 
the root.
