That's an interesting take. However, Tim Berners-Lee is English (born in London), and the CERN is located in Genève, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. In French, 'w' is pronounced "double-vé" (quick & dirty phonetic translation would be "doobleh-vay" in English). Neither English nor French really make pronouncing "www" easy. I tried to find out how 'w' is pronounced in German, but I didn't have much luck. Does anybody knows?
