;) I tried to follow the KISS (keep it small and simple) principle to reduce side-effects of configuration changes.

I always thought of domains as databases containing machine and user accounts. So for single machines this concept is extended to local user accounts being members of a local domain? Is this right? Shouldn't we then somehow distinguish between workgroup names (for browsing services) and domain names (for accounts, authentication etc)? New smb.conf option...?
