This objection is spurious, and constitutes trolling. Please do not feed the trolls. For the record, elementary logic: If there are two cases: domain.tld and .domain.tld and the documentation is not deliberately obfuscated, then the two cases are distinct. This is clear enough. The current informal style is more readable. There is no need for a BNF grammar. However, there is no point in continuing this thread. The OP has consumed all the bandwidth he deserves and more. -- Viktor.
