True enough.  But there's a couple thousand machines within AT&T known
to Network Action Central (NAC, the group that tries to manage the
UUCP connections amongst this morass).  All those hosts are correctly
known as SOME-HOST.ATT.COM.  The NIC knows about .ATT.COM and the use
of it is quite proper.
