>I loathe this pedantry worlds more than I loathe pg's observed "midbrow dismissal". It's not pedantry. The feature is called "tld", and its functionality should reflect the actual definition of a TLD. Since dudus' comment also contained useful criticism (which I was careful to point out and expand on), it is entirely plausible that the creator of this project (or someone else doing something with TLDs) might take all of it to heart. Since the exact definition of a TLD is (as this discussion shows) a bit subtle and potentially confusing, it would be a Bad Thing for people to start implementing behaviors where the wrong definition was used. It would muddy the waters more and lead to more confusion about the precise meaning of TLD in the future. >This is probably, and I'm writing this confidently and without exaggeration, the worst experience one can have socially. I've fantasized about killing pedants, and I am not ashamed to admit it. My comment was constructive and I was careful not to be mean about it. Your comment was pointless, mean, and actually threatening. Maybe you should do a little self-examination here?
