Why the WWW.?

[crzzy1 at digizen.net]

I noticed that some URL's don't use the "WWW." prefix,
The root zone files don't seem to list the WWW. for the resolution of
these names.
This would seemingly put control of the WWW. option on the host end.

how does my local name server sees that the WWW. is implied and doesn't
know it isn't FTP or something.

Is the omission of the WWW. a function of the hosting server?

If so, what would be the parameters that one would look for in setting
up/disabling this feature?
