I don't really agree with that. It's a convenient way to guarantee 
that everyone who needs one can have a globally unique package name 
without a lot of effort. It works pretty well.

BTW: What is the preferred pronunciation of  "nu.xom"? "noo dot zom"? 
"en yoo dot ex oh em"?


"noo dot zom". That's probably one for the FAQ when I get around to writing 
it.
