the dot in dot com?

Am I wrong, or is the end dot on a domain name / host name technically the correct form and the lack of the dot a technical incorrectness that is tolerated? If so, please explain why the BBC can’t manage http://bbc.co.uk./

Anyone?

    It redirects to http://www.bbc.co.uk in the same way as bbc.co.uk does. What’s your point?
