---------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Of course, the real problem with Stephen Woods' suggestion is that it
	assumes that a Usenet site can figure out how to get the mail to the
	UUCP-Arpa gateway without requiring the user to specify the route
	explicitly.  If they had this capability then it would only be a
	small step to not requiring explicit paths for anything, and they 
	could then use 	domain addressing, and there would be no problem of
	ambiguous syntax to solve.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some mailers in the UUCP world already do that, like the one that is being
used for mailing this message does. This one is driven by a set of network
configuration tables, which are updated periodically.
