|Shouldn't this order be changed?

Maybe, although it HAS matched a higher level name first;

however, if I had a host/sub-department called "Acorn"
I'd think twice before registering it in that name under
the NRS.

As things in the NRS often seem like words (which might also be
proper names) and since computervision isnt a word (although
it is a proper name as you found) couldn't you elect to register
as uk.ac.bristol.computer-vision (uk.ac.bris.cv)?

Mind you, the prize must stay with the Janet Central office
