Why should Lynx maintain a list of top-level domain names, when
the nameservers to this quite well already? Right now, I like
what happens (although I have name completion turned off),
and I believe Lynx should first look up the name (even for a
single-qualifier name), and attempt name completion only if
the initial lookup fails.
What do you think should happen if I enter "http://www"? I like
the current behavior of Lynx, and would dislike seeing it change.
And, please, make no assumptions that the qualifier following
a "www" is a "middle-ranking domain". A little probing finds
me a site in which the www is immediately followed by the
top-level domain name.
