>>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!
