I do not understand why you would want to make individual items part of the structure? At the moment all I have to remember is the company name of the website I am searching for, then .com or .co.uk as I am in the UK.
Elegant, easy, simple, logical.
...unless the site you're searching for is nonprofit, in which case .org and .org.uk would be more appropriate.

Sorry guys - your logic is most definately wrong.
As you know - most companies share the same words with others.
e.g. "Apple" used by many - including computer, tobacco, music companies.
Like I say on WIPO.org.uk - "It is legally used by thousands of businesses - large and small all over the world. Indeed, it is impossible that they all register themselves as trademarks - they are bound to conflict with many others, being confusingly similar. In my local phone book alone, there are at least five using this word - two garages (seems not connected), a car centre, fruit growers and a decorating firm."
So - with all these countries (with billions of people and millions of businesses) - will reducing the legal address to one/two words (or a few initials) for the use of trademarks be the act of:
(a) Intelligent persons.
(b) Lobotomised monkeys (vacuous of even basic monkey intellect).
(c) Corrupt individuals trying to give control of DNS to corporations.
Perhaps you have your own explanation - but all the evidence provides conclusive proof of the answer being (c) - corrupt individuals trying to give control of DNS to corporations.
