Ah, finally someone brings this up. Yes, correct. [www....] is outdated.

People should only need to type in the host in the browser. Due to an old protocol, billions of people are wasting time typing.

If you could rewrite the protocol, would you keep subdomains? Idea being, there is no easy way to tell the difference between subdomain.domain.xt1.xt2.xt3 vs domain.xt1.xt2. The protocol should allow programmers to automatically detect hostname by location within the url.

Reminds me of dvorak vs qwerty debate.
