a sub sub space would probably look like user.bob@bitcoin we wanted to avoid name collisions with traditional DNS which is why we chose this syntax

what do you do for a sub sub space? user.subsubspace.subspace@space? the syntax just seems weird.

do we even need sub sub spaces? what use cases do you have in mind?

with this syntax, is there a way to distinguish between a subspace that was delegated via the spaces protocol or inside a zonefile that has been attached to the space?

sorry I mean we used this syntax to make it less confusing with any conflicts with other naming systems

I agree this is an issue, but I don't know that I like the syntax you've chosen. Not sure what a good solution is though.

since the inception of the internet no email addresses have been defined directly on the tld so practically no collisions sip-02 also attempts to make this as painless as possible to integrate even into mainstream resolvers
