For my reason my message wasn't included so I am sending it from a different email which will let it go through I think, sorry for the incovenience. Here you go: I think once the browsers and also the search engine will finally accept that http://www.example.com, www.example.com, example.com and even www.example.com/index.htm, http://example.com/index.html, or example.com/index.php, etc. - are all the same page - many problems will be solved for both webmasters and regular users.
