I do believe that Stroller does recognize the value of www for those 
times that the domain owner wants to specifically point to his web 
host machine, but the point that Stroller was attempting to make, and 
I concur, is that when a domain owner has failed to assign a host 
computer to www, then it would be nice if the browser did assume www 
as the host and then proceeded to the web server. To fail merely 
because the user did not type www. and because the domain owner was 
not wise enough to assign the alias in their DNS records should not 
punish the user.

Honor isn't about making the right choices. It's about dealing with the consequences.
