Thats the point of DNS... no grand unified system however convention means
alot.  My site is web.abnormal.com but www.abnormal.com works.  Back
when www came out the guys who came up with it was very good at
writen english so "world wide web" made sense but it was pronouced 
Vee-Vee-Vee which is much better than "Double U double U..."

That is a differnt issues that I think the comitteee should address however
unless someone is getting paid to focus on a problem, hackers tend
to get distracted by tangents.

Exactly. I need more than your system provides (well maybe not)
which is why node HVC is hvc.abnormal.com.  I have full control
and I don't care what rules other people make up for the system...
I'm doing it my way unless I've got a good reason to do it a different
way.

Oh,  node HVC has been connected to more nodes off the continent than
on it.  that includes links to nodes in seattle wireless, 
two bay area networks and one in europe somewhere.
