this doesn't have a Yes/No answer:
my answer is `Yes, provided you have .edu in the list in lynx.cfg '.
> Should Lynx attempt to complete "www.ru" to "www.ru.edu"?
my answer is `No, because Lynx should assume a final .ru is the country',
but i need to expand my previous remarks:
it wouldn't be unreasonable if Lynx expands with .edu here,
since .ru is immediately preceded by www ,
which implies it is a middle-ranking domain:
we could have Lynx check for an immediately preceding www first.

because countries like Russia are a lot more important
than minor US universities or even well-known ones like Stanford.
isn't that obvious?
