Well, one did. (there is a DBP.DE).

This simply kind of mapping creates some semantical conflicts.
X.400 management domains are routing hints: It seems that a
better mapping of X400 addresses should be:

      @PRMD.ADMD.Co:user@Ou.Org.Co
or
      @ADMD.Co:user@Ou.Org.PRMD.Co

This is heretic, and I don't really hang on that.
