This is an interesting point.  It seems to me, however, that the whole
point of the address bar name highlighting is supposed to be for the
_user_, and to tell that user its scope.  That makes me think that the
answer here is, "Example loses." 

But the broader question is, "Is it sensible for a given name to have
different administrative realms for different purposes?"  If so, not
to put too fine a point on it, I think we're screwed.
