We have heard you say this many times over, but you are refusing to hear
that other people have figured out how to use them for their specific
app or topology. Since you have identified the case that a multi-party
app can't do the right thing when the name/address resolution is only
capable of a single scope, you should write a BCP to that effect.
Otherwise your argument ammounts to a demand that we not allow doing
more than what we always have done, simply because it is easier.
