In general, computer braille is designed for words used in a computer context
that does not follow the conventions of standard text for which standard
braille is based.
For example, in grade two braille, the dropped "d" is used for the following
things "dis" (beginning of a word), "dd" (middle of a word), or period (end of
a word).
One conclusion is that no one ever thought that a period would show up at the
beginning of a word (file extension) or in the middle of a word (web address or
a file name).
When there are periods, slashes, backslashes, periods, tildes, and other junk,
it is time to think of the Computer Braille Code.
