Depth of 'subdomaining' is odd. I have never seem something like this
before.

You seem to have been made a 'subdomain' on Cornell, which is not as
satisfying as:
www. honeycomb.cs.cornell.edu.movable-type-weblog.com

Yes, the word "malformed" was too strong and therefore incorrect. It was
only days ago that I pondered about addresses like b.o.r.e.k.com, which I
realised are indeed possible. As a side note, I am not sure what ICANN's
stance on one symbol URL's actually is. I think I once hear/read about it.

Why Cornell and MovableType? Doesn't that seem very non-symbiotic to you? A
university and a blog? And one of a high standard too? Was that possible
some mistake or a strange case of joined links that were crawled? One
ponders...
