[HTTPS-E Rulesets] (Probably) dumb question - automatic sub-domain wildcard prepending?

I noticed that some files (e.g. ripe.net.xml, tv.com.xml) list only the
second-level domain in their "target host" lines, but include "rule from"
values that reference specific third level domains.  Does HTTPS Everywhere
automatically prepend '*' to target host lines?

Example:
<ruleset name="TV.com">
    <target host="tv.com" />
    <rule from="^http://tv\.com/" to="https://www.tv.com/"/>
    <rule from="^http://www\.tv\.com/" to="https://www.tv.com/"/>
</ruleset>


Proposed change:
<ruleset name="TV.com">
    <target host="www.tv.com" />
    <target host="tv.com" />
    <rule from="^http://(www\.)?tv\.com/" to="https://www.tv.com/"/>
</ruleset>


Thanks,
