There is no problem with other Internet domains seeking path info for the
UUCP domain under the situation where the second level domains change
frequently; if queried, the gateway can always say "Send mail to
site.uucp via me", because what is really being asked is if it the name
is valid in order to reduce traffic.  If the UUCP domain gateway knows
how to reach the site, all is well.  If the gateway does not, it is simply
promising to assume responsibility for the message according to the
rules of RFC822 (unless it is a different RFC) message delivery.

In all honesty, there are probably other Unasked Questions floating around.
The preceeding paragraph may, in all cases, be used as an answer to those
questions.  It might not be a correct answer...
