When you try to explain to novices that the DNS matches going down the tree, label by label, and that the top-most label is at the end, you immediately get a question as to why the labels are in the wrong order. I've answered this question from people new to the DNS dozens of times. It might be, of course, that I am exceptionally bad at explaining the concepts. But it might be that JANET had it right. Anyway, I think Mark's argument has convinced me that there's a much better way to lay this out. Thanks for the comments.
