	By far the most important argument, in my opinion, is the risk
	that X.400 will never become accepted, will become a dead horse,
	like Teletex, because of the complicated OR-name structure.
Exactly! But that's nothing new.

	Compare to telephone numbers, which have been successful for
	both telephone and fax.
And with RFC822 addresses for that matter....
