But practically speaking, how often does this happen? It seems to me
like you're now at the point of worrying about wearing a hat in case
a bird flies overhead. It's such a fringe case, I wouldn't write off
the other stuff going on simply because it's not handled here.
(and if anyone can think about how to build a unique name space
across the entire internet for mailing lists, so that a list ID is
unique even if it moves hosts, I'm open for discussion. But this
implies some central authority, which isn't gonna happen...)
