It's nonsensical for an application to decide that relative names are
unacceptable, but to require users to input names as relative.
it's nonsensical for you to unilaterally declare that such names are
relative, when well over two decades of practice indicates otherwise.
I didn't declare it; 1034 did.
And RFC 1535 got resolvers to try search lists last if there
was a period in the name. This removed the need for final
periods for any legal fully qualified host name.
"hk" is not a legal fully qualified host name. Demanding that
applications support final dots to support uses that are outside
of the original design scope is nonsensical.
