No there is no rule.  And all the claims it's a bad idea don't cut the 
mustard.  Yes on many legacy systems it's a bad idea becase alot of 
automated agents depend on a NOERROR or NXDOMAIN for dns.  The get 
confused when they get a reply.
Wildcards in fact are a good thing from the dns perspective.  They 
reduce overall traffic to the zone.
