That's the intention of the change.

Well - I'm already working on the "JMX proxy" ( similar with the proxy for
mod_jk2 mbeans ). And /admin and any other tool will manage clusters ( or
multiple instances ) just like they manage a single instance.

For example, with a bit of cleanup, /admin could display a select box with
all the domains - and administer any tomcat instance ( assuming some setup
is done to proxy the JMX domains ) 

An essential piece is indeed the "unique name" - and in JMX terms that will
be the domain ( and will also be used as jvmRoute ).

Host name has nothing to do with this. 

The JMX domain corresponds to one Engine. An Engine can contain multiple
hosts, and you can have multiple engines ( in different JMX domains ) and 
multiple connectors.

The Engine name is the id of a tomcat instance ( even if you run multiple 
Engines in the same JVM - from the point of view of routing or admin, they
are different )

There is a one-to-one mapping between Service and Engine, and Embeded tomcat
doesn't use Service ( Service is just a wrapper for 1 Engine + Connectors ).

So the naming will be:
 Engine -> Host -> Context
