I read the info about it I found while googling but I'm not sure I'm clear.
Is it saying that Opera will look for a page called "/delorie.htm" on the
current domain?

Thanks.  I knew about that one too.  Not sure why I didn't think of it
earlier.

I was not aware of [1], as evidenced by my proactive use of mysite.foo [2].
Still, one problem with using example.{tld} is it makes it confusing when
your example uses two sites, i.e. mysite.foo vs yoursite.foo is clearer than
example.com vs. example.net.

BTW, is http://exmaple.com also reserved too? ;-)
