There are easy ways to solve this "problem": So you want to reduce that accessibility to one way? I don't think so! > <http://www.no-www.org/> There aren't many sites that *I've read* that contain complete nonsense (though, I'm sure there are many that I haven't), but this is now one of them. Personally, I prefer to have the www on the URI because it looks better, but I don't always type URIs one way or the other. Currently, the WHAT WG classifies as a class A, according to that nonsense. So, obviously you want it changed to class B or C. Class B requires redirect, so that's more time wasted sending another request for anyone that types the www. I guess the argument is the same as for always including the trailing slash when linking to directories ? it reduces network traffic. Class C will break any links and bookmarks that currently link with the www subdomain, so definately *NOT* Why bother going to the effort to change it to a class B or C, when it works perfectly well without doing anything, and causes more problems by doing so? > Please do.
