	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.
