Now I'm really confused.  I spent two months fighting with UUNET Canada
over whether they would even bother to submit my application for a
domain name in .on.ca.  They finally convinced me that the rules were
very firm; my (Ontario registered corporation) company would need to
have _permanent_offices_ in at least two municipalities in Ontario in
order to get a name in .on.ca, despite the fact that we are provincially
registered and do international business.

We finally gave up and switched to .com, but now it seems like we might
have qualified for .on.ca after all.

Just what are the rules here?  When this question has been asked here before,
people have been told to go read the description on the application form.
Given the difference between what UUNET Canada told me and what seems to
be happening with vdhcomp.on.ca and others, either that description is
not clear enough or UUNET people misunderstood it.
