This has been around for a while; I haven't filed a ticket for it, since
I just retype the URL.

It used to be in the notebook that address="" was an error. Then when we
switched to twisted, it suddenly meant "listen on all interfaces". Now
it's a common option to give.
The two places I know of where the address is given are: (1) when popping
up a web browser pointed at the notebook, and (2) when publishing a
worksheet and it shows the URL where people can get the published version.
Ideas:
* If one gives address="", everywhere else, set the address to the
fully qualified domain name. How to get that in Python?
* If one gives address="", simply never automatically pop up a viewer,
and doesn't display the URL for published worksheets (since it is wrong).
If people want proper URL's they shouldn't be lazy with their address=
option.
* Make address="" an error, and require the user to give a proper fully
qualified name.
