Someone may be using it.
IBM registers component prefixes for ISV use. The scope is to small. For
example, SYSMOD IDs are
not covered. Does IBM guarantee that no macro or opcode will ever conflict
with a registered
ISV prefix?
In the real world, not constrained by an archaic name space, there appears to
be a convention
(standard?) of using a registered domain name as a qualifier. On my laptop,
for example,
I find:
com.Google.
com.adobe.
com.apple.
com.microsoft.
com.oracle.java.
etc. Dozens, at least.
