I wonder how the .de or .uk folks see things? Is the same true elsewhere?.co.uk generally seems to be understood by UK folks. .org.uk tends to cause a double-take. (The 'special' UK SLDs, like nhs.uk, are a maze of twisty turny third-levels, all on different logic).
The odd thing is customers mostly fall into either; I don't understand anything beyond ".com" and ".co.uk" I'm a "gov.uk", "nhs.uk" other speciality, who often know more about the procedures or technicalities of registering their desired domain name than we do. And those who just want every possible TLD, and variant, for a name, in some misguided belief this will protect it in some magical way, and won't just make a load of money for the registries. We obviously prefer the last group, as they spend more money, are less hassle, and are usually content with registering all the TLD domains we can do for the standard price. I'm sure there is a business in doing services to the second group, especially if you chuck in certificates and a few related things.
