   There is broad agreement. Every other mailer and tosser software that supports   
   5D BSO uses the BinkleyTerm Outbound Style format described by FTS-5005. I   
   used BinkleyTerm and Squish with 5D BSO and I don't remember any difference to   
   what we use today (with the expception of binkd).   
      
   I think the idea was that a 5D outbound is always in the format   
      
   domain.zzz/nnnnffff.xxx   
      
   and the only exception is the outbound for the default zone and domain, which   
   follows the 2D/4D convention for compatibility reasons.
