Now that the cat is out of the bag, maybe we should look at trying to get people to make use of FQDN's more. I just added a rewrite to my person site to give it a try, and threw a quick note up about it: http://soucy.org./whydot.php So far, it looks like every browser correctly respects the use of a FQDN; though it looks like SSL is completely broken by it. The solution there is either to generate certificates with the correct FQDN CN, or to make browsers assume that every CN is a FQDN (better option IMHO). To be honest, I think we've all been a little lazy leaving off the last dot and are just annoyed now that it's going to cause a potential problem.

The notion of a single-component FQDN would be quite a breakage for the basic concept of using both FQDNs and Unqualified names.Well, you know, there's a guy whose email address has been n@ai for many years. People have varying amounts of success sending him mail. R's, John
