I beg to differ.

There is a relationship: the service names are globally unique and stem 
from the DNS hierarchy. So, the only way for KMyApplication to be allowed 
to use org.kde.kmyapplication is if and only if kmyapplication.kde.org is 
reserved to THAT application. (It doesn't have to have a webpage at that 
address or even resolve, but it must be reserved)

This means each application with org.kde.XXXX automatically reserves such 
XXXX under kde.org.

Like I said, it's possible to have a homepage URL completely different 
from the organizationDomainName. But the best default we can have is the 
webpage.
