Re. the multi-national ADMD

In my opinion, such an ADMD should choose which country it belongs in
or else register its name in multiple countries.  In the latter case
it would then be considered multiple separate MTAs for routing
purposes.

Why make routing more complicated?  Most of the cases, that have been
presented as possible routing problems, would only be encountered
very rarely, so why not simply disallow these extreme cases.

To get on my soapbox: standards should help interoperability, not
needlessly complicate it.
