If the call comes in to a context and the DID does not match, Asterisk rejects 
the call outright.  I had a patch submitted a LONG time ago (I don't see it 
in the tracker anymore) which allowed chan_zap to jump to the context 'i' 
extension if no DID matched, but Mark didn't like the idea at the time.

(I think he may have something against consistency, heh)

_X. will match any DID, so the dialplan logic will consider it matched.  This 
seems logical.  If you want to match something else, make the dialplan do it, 
or revive the 'jump to i' issue I brought up so long ago.  :-)
