Questions regarding the use of the dollar sign, "$" have
been raised, eg. in connection with User Names in Authorize.
From the Distributed Name Service Architecture book, available only
in "Draft" form as far as I know, here is a quotation--
"NOTE-- All Simple Names containing dollar signs "$" are reserved for
use by Digital and may not be assigned by customers."
Given that, and what is planned for us with DNS, I would not dare
suggest that anyone do the contrary--but what do I know-- Hope this
helps
