>peter, do you want to let loose pathparse on the unsuspecting?

ed, not really.  you can take it from ~honey/down/src/pathparse on
citi, but my experience with pathparse was 1) too much administrative
overhead maintaining the database, and 2) i don't trust the data enough
to wire pathparse into an mta in rerouting mode.  (from this, you can
infer my opinion of agressive routing in an mta using pathalias.)

i used pathparse in my ua for a few years (motf has hooks for both
pathparse and pathalias), but find that pathalias suffices and is
easier to maintain.  but go ahead and experiment.

ps:  made for a nice paper, though ...
