Wow, excellent analysis Andre, as usual, thank you! I'll bookmark your 
instructions as I bet they'll come in handy in the future...

As far as I know this change, that requires strict path match was done 
to avoid a specific vulnerability.

Do you think it would be reasonable to put that requirement in the Web 
Key Directory [0] spec? This way other implementations can also be 
adjusted so that WKD works consistently across different software.

Kind regards,
Wiktor
