I like this idea.  (Note that VIXIE.SF.CA.US has moved many times since its
creation, and though I've always been in the Bay Area I've not lived in San
Francisco since 1988.)

This would seem to indicate that geographical domains are a bad idea and 
that domain names should be based on some characteristic that is less 
likely to change over time.
