Peter,
I am happy to have your e-mail address depend on your provider. I am far
less happy to have to figure out how to address you depending on what my
provider is. Been there, done that. Have a book about it. It's all gone
now and we use "name(_at_)host(_dot_)tld" The "tld" part is known and can be
resolved from a set of carefully operated and synchronized root servers.
I really don't think having to worry about other roots should be imposed
on the users now. Bad idea.
Thanks
Ole
