My use doesn't take precedence.  If you need to use wildcards, and the 
absolute Send-N form isn't suitable for you, just don't put in any Send-N 
records at all.  They're completely optional.  The need to wildcard can 
take precedence.

There are plenty of cases where bad things are possible through 
misconfiguration of DNS records, and the usual answer is "don't do that". 
I'm struggling to understand why that's not considered a valid answer in 
this case.

For what it's worth, section 5.7 of the Enumservices Guide draft 
specifically requests that Registration documents should identify any 
incompatibilities with wildcard records.  That's an explicit understanding 
that such incompatibilities are possible.
