It appears this applies only to "hosted domains". The post from Google doesn't define that precisely, but it appears they're talking about public domains like blogspot.com which could have zillions of different subdomains controlled by different entities.

That's how it should be. Since long ago, I was seeing ads that would point to a Google Base page, and the display URL in the ad would just state google dot com.
Totally crazy considering the trust that people have in Google's brand. And then you get to the page selling who knows what. People should think they buy from Google?! Everyone who is familiar with Google Base knows how easy is to create a landing page there.

Hmm, does this mean you can't do the opposite now? For instance: I advertise on KW "Blue Wigets" can I still use Blue.Wigets.com as my display URL and send the traffic to wigets.com/blue_wigets.php

Sure you can. The news is only about domains that are not owned by those that use subdomains explicitly. Blogspot, WordPress, etc. Any domain that is publicly shared - if I can say it in that way. That's why I used example of Google Base. Non-shared domains are not affected by this.
