| Hey, it's the in thing.

So is Java and it can be used for everything, right?
Just because it is in and hip and cool and stuff does not make it the best
way to do everything.

| Simplify: my "mailto: URI" had better be unique, or my mail won't reach
| me and I won't give a rat's <U-no> whether it's identified, uniquely or
| otherwise.
|  So: "G20010302T165500.0000Z!Superbiskit@Home.com"

No more or less valid than what my firewall at work does:
<01Mar2.104434est.115296@gateway.intersys.com>
But it is harder to calculate, especially given that Emacs really has no
good way of looking for MAC addresses.
