Currently, the "dot com/net/org" at the end of a spoken domain name clues the listener in to what they just heard. You think, "oh, a domain name, I'll visit it on my browser." But without that, a new spoken standard may have to be developed. If I hear "go to mint", without any other context, I will not know if that means a night club or a web site. Perhaps we'll have to say "www dot mint" to make it clear, but that's not optimal.
