I like either one.  I'm more concerned about ramifications about having two

Good point about the caching.  I was thinking about that yesterday, as I
was testing the domain-only version of the URL, and traversing my pages.  A
glance at the browser's URL display confirmed that nothing was
back-translating the URL.  Which is even more cool.

Luckily, nearly all the internal links are relative, so they wouldn't be
affected if I switch.  Unluckily, nearly all the internal links are
relative, so I'd have to track down and update the links which are
absolute.

Or the absolute links could be switched to relative, if href=".." is
allowed.

(...) I don't know if it's allowed (shame on me :-) but it works, by using the baseURL value (implied or specified). HREF=".." will try to fetch the default doc for the parent directory. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 9-Sep-99, to lugnet.publish)
