<p>Yes. See <a href="https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html</a></p></div>

<p>No. As Andrius pointed out, the only relevant sentence is</p>
<blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid #a7b5bf; color: #464c5c; font-style: italic; margin: 4px 0 12px 0; padding: 4px 12px; background-color: #f8f9fc;"><p>For applications, the part of the name of the desktop file (before the .desktop) should follow the "reverse DNS" convention, e.g. org.example.FooViewer.desktop. The name should be a valid D-Bus well-known bus name. The valid characters (aside '.') are [A-Z][a-z][0-9] along with dash ('-') and underscore ('_'). Components may not begin with a digit.</p></blockquote>
<p>which talks about the format (reverse DNS *convention*), but it does not say the source. Here we are talking about create this naming in KAboutData. What I would expect is:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">if the desktop file name is specified, it is used; otherwise</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">if the organization domain is specified, regardless of the value of the homepage, the organization domain is used; otherwise</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">if the homepage is specified, the homepage is used; otherwise</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">uhm, not sure here. Just nothing, and the world will explode as expected, or a default value (if we enforced it so far) .</li>
</ul>
<p>organization domain only should be enough. If not specified, sure, the homepage can be used</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R244 KCoreAddons</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D5405" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D5405</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>stikonas, mpyne, kossebau, aacid, ltoscano<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>mak, plasma-devel, kde-frameworks-devel, Frameworks, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, eliasp, sebas, apol<br /></div>
