For example the value 1234567890 taken in isolation could be anything from my ICQ number to my shoe size in kilo-angstroms, but if you view it as the pair { <ICQ domain>, <locally unique number> } then it makes sense (disclaimer: I have no idea whether that's either a valid ICQ number or my shoe size in kilo-angstroms).
It's clearly not your shoe size in kilo-angstroms, unless you have MIGHTY large feet. According to 'units', that works out to 4860 inches.
Obviously it's my hat size then. Peter.

The real point here that 100% context-free situations are very infrequent and when you run into one you should immediately suspect cyphertext, in broad meaning. ===== end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
