I think this post is trending because of a comment on the announcement about the new Pope, where someone pointed out the redundancy in the vatican.va domain.

The vatican.va domain has long been an outlier for not operating a web server at that shortened address.

They insist on using the “www.vatican.va” only, and my browser’s autocomplete history reflects this.

They might as well then just use www.va!

This is such a beautiful thing, it gets you in the head as much as in the heart... alas, probably nobody else feels this way about it...

> There 86 domains names starting with "www" in the .va zone,[6] with many more email-only subdomains.
