> It strips out the www. prefix to make a ”display version“ of the URL. I have no problem with this, as the prefix is entirely meaningless to humans.

Hah, what a dumb comment. Let's just go back to AOL keywords... but we can call it Google keywords.

I propose a new URL scheme: "web:nytimes/some/article/". Sadly I don't work for the Chrome team, so I can't just force it down the web's throat.

This is already what we have, except that "web" is "http" and we have TLDs to namespace domains.

We do have them, but as everyone has already realized, namespacing domains isn't really a good idea.

Could you expand on this?
