And RFC 1535 got resolvers to try search lists last if there
was a period in the name. This removed the need for final
periods for any legal fully qualified host name.
"hk" is not a legal fully qualified host name. Demanding that
applications support final dots to support uses that are outside
of the original design scope is nonsensical.
