I disagree that it is a "problem".

The URI:

   http://whatwg.org/

...looks silly compared to:

   http://www.whatwg.org/

...IMHO.

Anyway, the host name _is_ relevant:

      www.whatwg.org -- content whose relevance is the WWW
   syntax.whatwg.org -- content whose relevance is the Syntax

...etc.

And in any case Dreamhost (who are currently hosting the whatwg.org
servers) don't support having www.example.org and example.org pointing at
different virtual domains.
