My agent searches the url database for each alias attributed to the
found url.
I think though that alias checking works quite well, and for http
sites I have
chosen to first use the name used in the found url if the name has
the text,
www in it. I then choose to use an alias if this first condition
is not met, which
meets this condition. Of course this fails to select www.netscape.com
if the reference was www.mcom.com, but I think that it is a
reasonable solution
given that it is very difficult to infer a preference between such
two domain names
without direct specification.
A good solution would be the inclusion of a new optional html tag:
<host="www.anchovies.com">
