NB: It's the other way around: I think nobody fundamentally objected
reverse domain names for checking, but it seemed non-trivial to
automate correctly.  So I suggest we just start with a declarative /
trusted by default approach and a "manual" / human dispute resolution
process.

In the mean time, another idea came up: that we should just provide a
default namespace, for instance net.launchpad.$user.$app.  This would be
great to ease bootstraping of new developers and would limit risks of
small abuses/errors (e.g. inventing domain names that don't exist).
