The question was "Do I have to type in "www." before example.com?" I tried to answer the question in a manner that would suggest that people should not rely on this error correction technique, and in fact, they should avoid typing (and even seeing) URIs where they can. This was captured as: "In an ideal world, URLs would neither be seen nor heard," says Ian Jacobs of the World Wide Web Consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is working on a Web that'd require no typing. I'll bet the Voice Browser folks are happy! _ Ian -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260-9447
