I am opposed to this. Requiring someone to have purchased a domain adds a significant to publishing a project. If there are no requirements that they have purchased the domain then it's nothing more than a convention and something that anyone who wants to do this can do.
Fair enough. A common variation on this scenario, which avoids purchasing a domain, is to use a code hosting domain and project name, so, for example: org.bitbucket.j1m.foo. Of course, using a domain name without owning it is a form of squatting. Jim -- Jim Fulton http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimfulton
