    Hey there..

    Isn't it arguable that SRI & ISI put the . in .com?

    RFC830 put the . in .ARPA (an SRI publication)

    Then, a little later, RFC 881 defined the
    domain name heirarchy.

    And RFC920, an ISI publication "Domain Requirements" actually lays out the top level domain structure, seperating 'education' 'commercial' and 'government', i.e, the first definition of .COM.

    So I'd say that RFC830 put the . later used in the RFC920 COM.

    Oh well..
