Thanks very much to Gordon Cook for all the EXCELLENT background
materials on USG-Postel-USPS and the .US question. It makes for
fascinating (and scarey) reading. Yup, no more security problems
with USPS DN/street address mapping. The USPS Ether-Police will
swoop right down on all those evil cybersquatters, Web-abusers, and
other intergalactic IP rangers. "Neither rain, nor sleet, nor
corrupted MX records...(etc., etc.)." Uh-huh, uh-huh.

[Gordon: I would have responded sooner with my thanks to you for
digging up all that juicy .US stuff, but I tried to do a Microsoft
winsock update, crashed my TCP/IP, and haven't had connectivity for
48 hours :~/ )
