          Your "first_name.initial.surname@org_unit.org.prmd.admd.country" 
          concept would certainly produce a very intuitive and readable 
          address, but I think it would quickly degrade adding generation, 
          multiple ou and dda elements as well as X.400 elements that 
          contain spaces or problem characters. If a user had no initial, 
          (as in your own X.400 address,) would it be 
          "first_name..surname"?
          
          I have been getting the group email distributions for some time--
          in fact, I'm blessed by two copies of everything via the x400 ops 
          and the cxii lists... Some of the discussions are great, some, 
          like this Internet ADMD name thing tend towards silly AND THEY 
          SEEM TO MISS THE POINT... Isn't it more important to come up with 
          a better addressing scheme that's simple, intuitive and 
          informative? A scheme that would be notation and routing 
          compatible on both sides of the fence NOW. One which would prod 
          long and complex X.400 addresses as well as short and cryptic 
          Internet addresses to atrophy.
