I like the idea (especially as I for example started not to follow the  
naming conventions when I resetup my monotone database; if you have only  
one project per database as it's often recommended in this newsgroup you  
really don't want to type com.my-domain all the time; I think this naming  
convention makes only sense if you have several projects from different  
sources in one database?).
