I know that only too well. Fortunately, enough brokenware has paved the 
way that DNS-like rules are practical now. I really, really don't like 
it.

And I would HATE a future situation based on transcriptions, where 
"Fujishima", "Huzisima", "Fujisima", "Fuzishima" etc. would be mapped 
to kanji by the MDA and effectively be the same localpart.
