   But do you want every PC on the net to register as a proper domain?

If such PC's are expected to receive either mail or news, yes.

   This could get REAL hairy REAL fast.

Not really; nameservers are a concept which scales quite well.

   QUESTION:  What is the proper procedure to to register as a UUCP
	      host.domain?  A friend said drop mail to sri-nic, but 
	      they are internet, not UUCP (or do they do windows too?)

Ann Westine <westine@venera.isi.edu> is the domain contact for the .us
top-level domain, which is where random, organizationally-disconnected
machines can become registered.  The .us domain is subdivided into
state and city subdomains, and machines are thereby registered
geographically.  E.g., there is a machine here for which my machines
perform MX service called sydney.columbus.oh.us.
