I won't argue that, but it happens.
And I do make use of it. When I am back from a trip I type in
"dilbert" and see the comic appear. The next time I type in "d" and
my browswer fills in the whole URL.
The IPv6 Internet is a different network than the IPv4 Internet.
Same names invites confusion and unhappiness.
Hmmm, I draw the opposite conclusion. The network layers are
different but the service ends are the same, so I would prefer the
$same_name.
If you want to read Dilbert on-line and I tell you that it is
available at a certain URL, would you rather I give you
"http://www.dilbert.com" or that I send you "if you use IPv4 then
http://www.dilbert.com" else if you use IPv6 then
http://www6.dilbert.com else buy a newspaper"?
