Like no-www.org, we have a www.www.extra-www classification system:
BUNK: No site at domain, www.domain or www.www.domain
FAIL: www.www.domain does not work, but www.domain or domain does
BAD: Either www.www.domain presents a different site, or www.www.domain is redirected to www.domain or domain
GOOD: www.www.domain and www.domain or domain work and present the same site
GOOD (alternative): Either www.domain or domain redirect to www.www.domain
BEST: www.domain and domain redirect to www.www.domain
HARDCORE: www.domain and domain don't work, www.www.domain presents the site
