Given that the ordering for domain names is the same as for postal 
addresses, you will no doubt also be seeking to have us write postal 
addresses differently.  After all, the problem for the paper world must be 
even worse than the computer world, given that people typically write out 
those postal strings.

ps.  You have not yet provided the substantiation to your earlier claims 
that I asked about.  Going through the exercise of actually providing the 
basis for a conclusion is a hassle, but it does improve the credibility of 
the conclusion, don't you think?
