I believe there is a slight misunderstanding, while remixing OpenStreetMap/OSM/etc in various ways may result in cutesy copycat domain names they simply do not jibe well with reality.
Not only does every single one of them weaken the standing of the marks themselves and make is increasingly difficult to take action against misuse, they are further uncontrollable liabilities for the whole community. I gave the example of OpenWeatherMap, but there are others that would be really painful if they ended up in the hands of your fav giant tech corp. That said, I'm not sure why you believe the policy has broken something, with the exception of a few local chapters, to my knowledge, the OSMF has never granted a licence to anybody to use the marks in a domain name. As outlined in the FAQ we will be operating a grandfathering scheme to legalize such use after the fact so actually making such use legit for the first time. And yes: WoQ would be a wonderful name for Yuris service and shows that it is completely possible to break out of the old schema of simply copying OSM.
