  My preference would be a domain that lined up more or less with
the various departments at your generic university.  Thus one
might have hum.literature or hum.musicology if people felt these
were needed. The idea would be that hum.musicology would not be
the same group as rec.music.classical, and certainly not in any
way shape or form like rec.music.misc.
