I suspect that would be more disruptive than my change (which was deliberately scoped very narrowly, and generated no bug reports for Chrome, at least).  This could break both domain squatters and folks who rely on suffix search.  It may be a reasonable thing to do, but think we'd want to gather data on breakage, and figure out if the breakage is worth the benefits.
