I find this is a good solution, that I suggested, too ...

But :

I think the principle of "the more at the left, the most specific" should stay
: And we should always keep this :

 NAME.TYPE    (NAME = Company, organisation, subtype)
              (TYPE = Type of activity)

At the beggining :

 .food
 .services
 .nonprofit

Then more specific (in more than 3 years) :

 .beer
 .sodas
 .banks
 .transport
 .social
 .ecological

I am understand with "free for all", but not REALLY free : The costs should
only cover the REAL COSTS. This is best done with a non-profit registration
services ...
