Referring to multiple jurisdictions about ocd-division-ids HOT 2 CLOSED

In my personal code I've been using sldl:* and the like. Is there a
standard way to represent this in the open data world? I'd be in favor of
creating a canonical way to represent all districts of a type, though I
wonder if the representation should crawl down the tree or be valid only
for the exact spot in the hierarchy specified (e.g. would country:us/sldl:*
be allowed for all lower state lege districts in the U.S.)?

This is more of a question than a real issue, but bringing it to your
attention. For @openelections https://github.com/OpenElections, some
states (like MD) offer election results files that contain results
covering all state legislative districtshttp://www.elections.state.md.us/elections/2012/election_data/State_Legislative_Districts_2012_General.csv.
We're using OCD identifiers to describe the jurisdictions included in
results files, and this raised the question: should it be acceptable to
refer to multiple jurisdictions of a specific type, for example, something
like ocd-division/country:us/state:md/sldl:all? Any thoughts on that?

sldl:* seems fine by me. As a hypothetical, what if we had files that referenced multiple jurisdictions but not all of them?
