First I will agree that nearly every site gets it wrong. But that does not
imply that this site got it right!
The protocol [http://] and site [...somewhere.tld] are really independent.
For many entities ftp.myplace.com and www.myplace.com can be located worlds
apart. To further complicate matters an entity may want independent features
using the same protocol [internal.mysite.com www.mysite.com].
For MOST sites http://mydomain.tld should map to http://www.mydomain.tld for
convience, but I will argue that is is not a requirement to have "done it
right".
