True. TBL invented HTTP around 1989-1990. People were starting
to use the www convention for HTTP servers in 1993-1994. Before
that people just put up servers on any machine and referenced that.
It was years after that that people start to add A records to the
apex of the domain so that people didn't have to type in the www
part. I don't think it was common to do so before that.
