Wrong!

The document you are looking at is quite old.  I have a copy from
March 11, 1986 that reads as follows:

We have been sending mail into UKACRL with an RFC822 envelope (no BSMTP
envelope supported yet) with addresses in the following form:

user%nrsname@AC.UK
user@reversed_nrsname


In actuality, 'AC.UK' is an alias for UKACRL.  'nrsname' is the janet
address in 'UK.AC.....' format.  The 'reversed_nsrname' format also works:
user@node.node.AC.UK
as long as the mail gets to MAILER@UKACRL.
