Platon would have probably said something about Σωτηρία
(ancient Greek for the name of a goddess of salvation), especially
because he cared about that, as he found the defenders to be very useful.

That aside,

I wonder why the choice of encoding an identifier in one domainname was
made, and not that of set of them?

There could be two domainnames in an onboard network of a flying taxi:
one dedicated to the hosts on the onboard safety network and one for the
  hosts on the entertainment network, for the traveller's smartphone wifi.

When that is so, one would still want one domainname to be advertised to
the outside, like there is just one text painted on the outside.

This makes me wonder if it would not be easier to just take that
conventional name painted on the outside frame and encode it in an
identifier, and why not putting it in an IPv6 address.

If we do so, the privacy question would be easier: the painted text is
there mandatory anyways so anyone can see it with a pair of binoculars.
