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.
