I'm not talking about www vs. other hostnames -- I'm talking about www 
vs. the plain domain name.

You could just as easily have "domain.tld" be the main website for the 
domain and "support.domain.tld" and "store.domain.tld" be alternate 
websites.  Whether the default is "www.domain.tld" or "domain.tld" has 
no impact on this at all.
