But without a registry, how do you set up uniqueness?
There are multiple mailing lists for, oh, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks (I
know of three, including one of mine). Relationships among the three
admins ranges from cordial to, oh, not-cordial. How do you define
uniqueness among them? And among the ones that probably exist that I
don't know about? Especially if they all decide to argue over who
gets to be the "main" list?
The reason the domain stuff is in the listID is because it's there to
help you find the list. Without a central registry, a random string
here is pretty useless. And we don't need another Central Registry....
