I think easing the job for tools is a good goal.From a tool perspective, it can unambiguously locate a projectwhen given inputs of: "org.apache" -> must replace "." with "/" before performing lookup "org/apache" "oracle"
The implication of this is that generic tools can't parse the URI and determine what is part of the product-specifier and what is part of the version-specifier.
However, I don't think this is unreasonable. There is no requirement that tools be able to parse URIs to extract meta-data.

We must support both Humans and Tools. I would favor Humans. But both humans and tools will have problems when some orginzation decides its project name is Beta or nightly, etc
I think we should consider not allowing / in many of the parts.
