To be clear, I don't disagree with this advice. That's a serious list
of sites, formulated to work with SquidGuard. I don't use SquidGuard
myself and therefore can give no testimony as to its effectiveness.
In answering your question, leading a domain name in a dstdomain acl
with a period acts as a wild card (i.e. "acl google dstdomain
.google.com" will match google.com, www.google.com, maps.google.com,
froogle.google.com, etc.). Without the leading period, it's an exact
match. "acl google.com dstdomain google.com" will only match google.com
and not www.google.com or any derivation thereof.
