How about FUN ...?

Nope. No good.

>(3) fit into the ARPA organizational space,

EEK. What a nightmare.

>(4) fit into the MHS (X.400) name space, or some reasonable mapping of it.

Are you serious? No one UNDERSTANDS X.400... I see the only reasonable
solution is to remove the .UUCP bug in 4.3 sendmail.cf, and rename the
top level domain. Perhaps as a consolation (pronounced "boobie")
to Peter, I suggest we make it the FUN domain, 'cause it just be
soooo fun...
