Even if a particular browser supports it and even if it does not exist in
a search list, let's not forget all the enterprise networks that restrict
access to the web to proxy servers and utilize proxy.pac
autoconfiguration scripts. How many of those will include the following
line?
if (isPlainHostName(host)) return "DIRECT";
Just another illustration in the long list of reasons it's a really bad
idea. It will be a long, long time before a "dotless domain" would return
any sort of vaguely consistent behavior.
