This alternative looks like a clear winner to me.  Note, for
example, that the second name, ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU, already exists.
The idea of uniting the domain and name spaces of North America's two
most visible electronic mail internets (DDN and UUCP) is tremendously
attractive, even though it might mean giving up some measure of domain
identity to the people who will eventually administer the entire
domain name scheme for DOD.
