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...)
