Re: unqualified domains, was ICANN to allow commercial gTLDs

i think he's seen RFC 1034 :-). anyway, i don't see the difference between http://sony/ and http://sony./

Neither do any of the browsers I use, which resolve http://bi/ as well as http://dk./ just fine. Whatever problem unqualified TLD names might present to web browsers has been around for a long time and the world hasn't come to an end. The problems with zillions of single-registrant TLDs are more social and economic than technical. R's, John
