Is "foo.baz.org." with the trailing dot mentioned in an RFC? Is it supposed to be standard? Is it a standard? Who likes it? Should it be used? It denotes absolute (nonrelative) addressing to the local systems I use when using a few of the net facilities. (I have no affiliation, so ignore any implied organization)
