URL Expansion proposal

>>Anyone with Spry's Mosaic 95 can type "ibm" and see a web page.

Ryan, I tried it and it sure looks as if you went a step ahead of
my proposal. Spry is expanding the name to www.name.com. Now, if Netscape and 
Microsoft agree to a convention like that I'd be really happy.

>>Note that for any given "foo", "foo" is not and never ever will be a valid
>>url, so this implementation trick does not conflict with the standards (nor
>> should it be one).

Exactly.

>>Note also that it is not possible to indicate that your company is on the
>>Web (and therefore somewhat cool) simply by showing your name.  URLs do have
>>style.

Well my * idea at least keeps the implied meaning that the enclosed name is a
Web page address!
