Here, on an old beige G3 PowerMac system 8.6 - OE 5, the first link isn't
clickable.

Some programs may assume that anything begining by "www." is equivalent to
"http://www.";, but it's not standard. There's a rfc on urls that states that
the canonical form is :
protocol://<user:password@>computer.domain.tld<:port/path_to_ressource>
and the protocol:// part isn't optional (I've bracketed the options between
"<>"). This canonical form is suitable to access anything on internet ; the
only exception being the nntp protocol (prefix news:) because you seldom
want to access the same server as the person who pointed the link to you
(it's largely isp dependant). So the "//computer.domain.tld/" part is
optional for news:. Otherwise, you just can make links on anything.
Examples:
http://asite.somewhere.onthenet:81/apagein.html will look for a web server
on port 81 (usually 80, 81 used for beta test pusposes as a general
practice).
ftp://myname:mypass@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ will connect me to my professional
repository.
etc.
