It's very very weird that you approach the problem from the userland (all of you) rather than from the administration angle. Is that really weird at all? "you take the pain so your customers have things more pleasant" is a common idea. None of your customers care if you are doing "the right theoretical approach to the usage of www" if your competitor isn't. They'll simply go to your competitor, who does the thing they want. e.g. "CNAMES at the root of DNS" which is mentioned in this post; you can find any number of greybeards lecturing you on how wrong it is, but when you face your customers and they say "Amazon Route 53 DNS lets us do it", what does it matter how wrong it is? Explaining to them how Amazon has built something custom and non-standard, won't make them happier. They'll just use Amazon.
