I prefer that to XRD saying anything about allowing URIs and things that
just look like them. As I read the current proposal, though, I guess XRD
says nothing? So some other spec says "this bogus thing here means host",
and XRD doesn't really know anything about it. Also ok with me.

The XSD just reflects what we choose, so if Host were the decision,
obviously we could add that into a <choice> alongside Subject. I accept that
people don't like that and understand why (it's not extensible to any other
use cases and requires special element recognition).
