It's not just kludgy, it's incorrect.  There could be a site called
"frobozz.UUCP" and a different site called "frobozz.ARPA".  One of the
purposes of the domain structure is to permit a domain to manage the names
of hosts within that domain without having to worry about collisions with
other domains.  Unfortunately, not all sites in the (unofficial) domain
UUCP know how to send mail to sites in the (official) domain ARPA yet, so
sites will let themselves be known by the same name in both domains.
