Many internet applications have been designed to deduce top-level
domains (or other domain name labels) from partial information.
Whether or not this practice is desirable from an overall network
standpoint, the designers of the applications believe that it leads
to a better and more responsive user experience. The introduction of
new top level domains, expecially non-country-code ones, has exposed
flaws in some of the methods used by these applications. These flaws
make it more difficult, or impossible, for users of the applications
to access the full Internet. This memo discusses some of the
techniques that have been used and gives some guidance for minimizing
their negative impact as the domain name environment evolves.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-klensin-name-filters-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
