The general rule is that node names reflect the function of the device, so you typically wouldn't have a company name in the node name. See section 2.2.2 in the ePAPR, for some examples: <http://www.power.org/resources/downloads/Power_ePAPR_APPROVED_v1.0.pdf> For custom properties that you create, use a company specific prefix like a stock symbol or company name (e.g. cisco,foo).
