I think this discussion needs to go  beyond just supporting multiple  
domains. Both WPMU and Lyceum fall flat on their faces compared to   
Movable Type and b2evolution when it comes to being to being able to  
simply put  a blog anywhere on a server's filesystem, without being  
constrained by having all blogs hanging off a single  dir or  using  
subdomains.  I described  this problem in some detail here:

Movable Type and b2evolution can output any blog  to any location on  
the filesystem - any domain, any subdomain, any directory. Total  
freedom for administrators running multi-purpose servers.

MT can do it because it spits out static HTML.

b2 can do it because it provides for a "stub" index you can drop into  
any directory, which invokes the rest of the centralized b2  
installation.

I strongly urge Lyceum developers to study and implement something  
like the b2 model. It would put so many of these questions to rest  
for once and for  all. Doing so would  also  give Lyceum a nice leg  
up on WPMU, which also fails this test miserably.
