The problem is that, if you don't register a domain name with the NIC,
then all you've done by changing your UUCP map entry is to change the
name by which you're referred in UUCP addressing, which is to say that
you've done yourself no good at all:  Given that people can already
reach you via the existing UUCP registry, you gain nothing by changing
(adding what amount to aliases for) that name.

The win of registering a domain name properly is that anyone anywhere
can then reach you.  And they don't have to know _how_ you're being
reached, since domain addresses imply no routing or transport.

I suppose you _could_ just add a domain name to your map entry, if you
could get it past your regional map coordinator (which I doubt).  But
it seems awfully pointless.
