So I was wondering if it would help if shorteners published the URLs in
a DNS txt record.
They could publish them in a DNS A record, which would require no
hackery at all to browsers. That is, instead of
http://bit.ly/abcde -> http://abcde.bit.ly
But this would be a big problem for large ISPs, due to DNS caches filling
up with the things, a problem noted when Facebook did something similar.
R's,
