I'm aware that restructuring the Domain Name System is not practical at this point but here's my idea: Domains should work hierarchically and be privately operated. Google Search would be "http://Google/Search/Web ". A company would buy "http://Org " and run a forwarding service so that "http://Org/RedCross " forwarded to the respective site. This would allow "http://a/ " to be a forwarder and, best of all, for the web to be fully recursive. Seems like the possibilities for such a system are limitless. For example, an internet-archive would be the normal site with "archive/" injected. There are of course many complex details and inefficiencies, but it would greatly improve human-readablity, making things more easily-explainable.

This could partially be based on all file-extensions being in the file-data rather than in the name and all folders having an "index" file that represented them (which could, then, be any type of file). I'd like to have an explanation for down-votes, please.
