   User Interface Evaluation and Filtering of Internet Addresses and
              Locators -or- Syntaxes for Common Namespaces


   Many Internet applications have been designed to deduce top-level
   domains (or other domain name labels) from partial information. 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. This document draws summaries of the
   applicable rules together in one place and supplies references to
   the actual standards.

Please note that the RFC Editor will negotiate with the author
regarding the title of the document.

Sincerely,

Sandy Ginoza - USC/ISI
