Each state Department of Motor Vehicles maintains a two or three 
character representation of the county names for display on driver's 
licenses.  To shorten the overall address of the geographic domain, would 
it be easier to utilize this code rather than a full name?

If I understand what is proposed, Johnson Systems would become

johnson.baltimore.baltimore.md.us

rather than johnson.baltimore.ba.md.us (under the current naming system)
