As you say, I had the choice between: http://menstral.net/ and www.menstral.net The www-variant is 4 characters shorter than the http:// form, and the lenght is just more important on the small mobile display. The http:// URL wouldn't even fit on a single line. So this is one useful aspect of "www.". That's why I propose to have "www.name.com" redirecting to "name.com", rather than reject "www.name.com" altogether. On my mobile phone application I wanted to indicate the app website’s URL.

This is especially true for new or uncommon TLDs (e.g., .info, .eu, etc.). Otherwise you have to say http://name.com, which is more awkward than using www.
