 * </code>
 *
 * Where "router identifier" is a globally unique identifier.
 * In practice, this will often be the DNS-style "hostname" string of
 * an internet host, for the more-or-less static "infrastructure" nodes
 * that make up the routers and gateways of the TCA network.
 * For the true TCA mobiles, it may be something quite different, like
 * the sha1 hash of an email address for example.
 *
 * "application tag" is any string of URI-valid characters.
 *
 * This implementation also supports limited wildcard matching for
 * endpoint patterns.
