The problem is that in the UK the people who issue addresses generally wouldn't
know what name service was if it came and hit them with a rolled up copy of
RFC1035. Most of them don't have net access and I suspect some of them don't
even know that the AMPRnet address block has anything to do with the Internet..
I tend to update my region (which I'm not coordinator of, I just do it anyway)
every so often, but I don't think many of the other areas have been updated
in years.. If I can get hold of a complete copy of the UK tables I might well
upload the lot to ucsd at some point.
