Subject: Problem to be solved

Message: 		 

 
                The basic problem of people with identical names has not been circumvented. Simply adding numbers to a first name i.e. Bob2.Smith.pid destroys the consistent structure that the rest of the domain seeks to apply.
The logical conclusion are addresses of the form Bob3264.Smith.pid. The format of the first name is inconsistent and easy to mistake. Also, I doubt whether such an address would be  particulary desirable.
To address the consistency issue, perhaps some form of unique identifier should be built into each address e.g. each address has a level containing a 4 digit code.
The communicative features of the application are interesting and innovative but can be applied adequately using contemporary e-mail addresses / structures.
