Any words? 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.
