To add another voice to the list of concerns about lynx's current url
parsing: I read http://news.com on a regular basis, but because the
mid-level domain is "news", lynx parses "news.com" as though I were
accessing, say, "news.duke.edu" and tries to start an nntp connection.
Perhaps one of the goals for the 2.8.3dev series might be to take a
survey of how other browsers handle url guessing and incorporate/steal
the "best" heuristics for lynx.
