I received 27 responses to this survey.  A few responses were difficult
to interpret, but the results are roughly:

1) Should active rerouting be done? (ie, should a xxx!yyy!zzz route be
changed to www!yyy!zzz if the maps that a site has say it is cheaper)

79% No, 14% Yes, 7% Maybe

2) Should a 100% correct rfc 822 compatible From: line be modified if
it is just passing through a site?  Assume registered domain names for all
hosts involved.

96% No, 4 % Maybe

3)  Should a internet to uucp gateway rewrite From: lines into ! format?

56% No, 36% Yes, 8% Maybe

4)  What should a uucp to internet gateway do with From: lines of the
format "From: user@site.uucp".

a) leave them alone 24%

b) Change to "From: user%site.uucp@thissite.com" 21%

c) Change to "From: site!user@thissite.com" 41%

d) other 10%


5) What should a uucp to internet gateway do with From: lines of the
form site1!site2!user? 

a) leave them alone 16%

b) Change to "From: user%site2%site1@thissite.com" 24%

c) Change to "From: site1!site2!user@thissite.com" 48%

d) other  12%

6) Should the address "zzz!user%site.com" be sent to site.com or zzz?  
(ie, what should have precedence)

57% for zzz, 22% for site.com

7) Should sites with registered domain names put these names in the uucp
maps?

88% Yes, 4% No, 8% Maybe

My analysis (for what it's worth) is in another article.  Raw data is 
available on request.
