Only if you then revise all the application programs to let you
specify the scope ID that provides the context for the name, whether
the scope ID is represented as a DNS name or not.

Please think about this for a minute.  It's bad enough for
applications that are driven by a human who can type or click or
whatever from a list of possible scopes, but what do you do for
programs like MTAs?  If you're longing for a return to the days of
fee!fie%foe@fum email addresess (or even [EMAIL PROTECTED]#Chaos),
you're on the right road.
