a minor observation: the text on the sites example.com, example.org, and example.net reads:'You have reached this web page by typing "example.com", "example.net", or "example.org" into your web browser.'that text is not accurate. the user might have clicked a link or performed some other application task to arrive at the above sites.the distinction may seem minor, but the inaccurate text could be quite confusing for, say, readers of books intented for absolute beginners just learning to use the internet.considering that the stated purpose of the example.* domains is to serve as examples in documentation, it makes sense to reword the above text so it is not misleading.colin
