Will ti-csl understand if you send it the address

	ti-csl!foo.ti.com!user

?  If not, it cannot be placed in the domains files, or things will
break.  If they do, it could be added, but things like this may be
more complicated these days, since TI may not wish to pay Mark's
group their fee.

Remember, the whole idea of domains is so you don't need to know the
address of every company in the known universe.  You must know the
address for ".com", but not ".foo.com" for all foo.
