While trying to figure out why a particular autofill url was always trying
www.{host} I found that a hidden place entry with a www. was responsible.

When are places marked hidden?  Why should there be history entries that a
user can't see and delete if need be?

Thanks, that answers the when, but the why remains.  That a place is hidden
from queries does not imply that it should be hidden from the show all
history view (sidebar).  Why should there be history entries that a user
can't see and delete if need be?

That a place is hidden from queries does not imply that it should be hidden
from the show all history view (sidebar).  If history exists for the user's
benefit, the user must have access to it.
