I mean....it doesn't necessarily pertain to anything in particular, it is just applied API. Technically, you could pass any name token through it as long as there aren't any "-" outside of the delimitation. If there is no realm name, you just get a name; if there is a realm name, you get the "(*)".
The one issue I see is the inconsistency in how name-realm tokens are passed through certain functions and events at the moment. "(*)" has typically been used for units on other realms, but some events -- CLEU for example -- are passing names with realms attached regardless of if they are on your realm or not.
Tl;dr: You may get "(*)" for units that are on your realm as well, giving the false impression that they are cross-realm.
Of course, you could cache your realm and match it against what got split and go from there.
