force dedicated connection in shared server environment

All,

I throught the <SID> option has been depreciated in 10g, yet that's what I had to use to get a dedicated connection into oracle

e.g. this worked:
mydb_d =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host=orasun.mydomain.com)(Port= 1632))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = FOOT)(SEVER=DEDICATED))
  )

this didn't

mydb =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host=orasun.mydomain.com)(Port= 1632))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = FOOT.world)(SEVER=DEDICATED))
  )

The latter worked fine since version 8i i think.. my db_domain is set to 'world'

Did something change with config, that the service_name now needs to be something else?

Thanks
