The concensus seems to be that MsgGroup is the correct place to
discuss differences between the heirarchial naming method being
adopted by the Internet community and the non-heirarchial naming
method being proposed to CCITT by IFIP WG 6.5.

It has been suggested that the IFIP proposal would permit heirarchial
domains of naming authority, but I fail to see it. Could somebody
explain it to me?

After that is cleared up, perhaps we who have seen both the IFIP
proposal and the Internet plan could discuss the differences and
debate the merits? Personally I like the explicit heirarchial nature
of the Internet plan, and would like something like that incorporated
into the IFIP proposal, unless it's already there somewhere.
