Could you please clarify what kind of use case would use both the
wildcard hash and a specific hash in a single request? How is that
different from including just the wildcard hash? Would it be better to
provide all services (if there is enough room in the frame) as a
response if wildcard hash is included in the request?

I.e., this loop could replace the exact hash match with "if
wildcard-was-included OR exact hash match".
