I would like to point out that changing it to 'www' instead of

with and without the 'www' do not necessarily point to the same
thing (i.e., there is nothing at teamchad.org, you must use
www.teamchad.org) it would not make sense to add it to the system
Perhaps it would make sense to do this only for URLs with path
components and not just hostnames?
ie. http://bravo5.org/foo/bar/baz and http://www.bravo5.org/foo/bar/baz
Except that, for instance, http://andrew.notzen.com/wiki/ is the same as
http://www.notzen.com/andrew/wiki/ - how would you conflate those?
I think that _any_ kind of consolidation is going to hit cases where it
does the wrong thing, and therefore it shouldn't be done at all in an
automatic function.
On the other hand, if there was a way of matching two URLs together
manually, that might be nice.
