Gee, so I log onto my seismo and say "mail someone@seismo" it then reads
my mind to determine if I mean the seismo I am typing on or the
seismo in Italy. How could I have missed something so simple.

You have correctly stated my argument. We already HAVE the other "Johns"
The suffix .css.gov (or whatever) gives you the needed context, just
as talking to your mother gives you context.

What happens when you talk to your wife and say "I talked to John today"
She has no context so doesn't know if it's your brother, soccer teeam, etc.
