Glenn is correct.

From RFC 1034:

>When a user needs to type a domain name, the length of each label is
>omitted and the labels are separated by dots ("."). Since a complete
>domain name ends with the root label, this leads to a printed form which
>ends in a dot. We use this property to distinguish between:
>
> - a character string which represents a complete domain name
> (often called "absolute"). For example, "poneria.ISI.EDU."
>
> - a character string that represents the starting labels of a
> domain name which is incomplete, and should be completed by
> local software using knowledge of the local domain (often
> called "relative"). For example, "poneria" used in the
> ISI.EDU domain.

It is also mentioned in RFC 1035:

>Domain names that end in a dot are called
>absolute, and are taken as complete. Domain names which do not end in a
>dot are called relative; the actual domain name is the concatenation of
>the relative part with an origin...
