http://dk/ doesn't work particularly well on my Win 7 laptop:
Opera 12.02 - gets me http://www.dk.no/
Firefox 15.01 - gets me http://www.dk.com/
Chrome 21.0.1180.89 - gets me "Oops! Google Chrome could not find dk"
I think it's safe to say that http://dk/ does not *reliably* work the
way it's supposed to work. Nobody on this list should be surprised...
