In some countries (Mali for example), HOT is by far the institution with the most notoriety related to Openstreetmap - and it is often the only one. There, Openstreetmap appears to be a humanitarian mapping project under supervision and sponsorship of HOT. The confusion is real and the least the OSMF could do to start clearing it is to make sure that the domains are separate. http://hot.openstreetmap.org must not point to a HOT domain.
For what it's worth, I have no objection to the hot.openstreetmap.org redirect, and it seems perfectly logical that the 'hot.' prefix should point to a HOT domain. By all means introduce humanitarian.openstreetmap.org as well for a broader list of humanitarian projects using OSM.
