The recent brouhaha with Site Finder
The technical problems with wildcards in top-level domains are probably insurmountable; more importantly, any usability benefit to users from such things is unclear. It's easy enough for a Web browser to implement such a feature, and the resulting feature can be enabled or disabled by users as they wish. Wildcard DNS records, by contrast, affect every aspect of network functionality, not just the browser.
