>From glancing at the code, it seems those are the non-puny-coded
hostnames that are stored in that file. But that doesn't really matter,
as those are only lookup variables in an the array. The question is

My reading of that is in most cases they will be. But really, it depends
on what the url code itself accepts; of which I have no idea.
