Well, lets see here, my votes would go for either:
The LDraw Foundation -or-
www.ldraw.org

For ldraw.org's site title.  I like both of em, and though ldraw.org
sports that simplistic elegance Terry talked about, The LDraw Foundation
has a cool ring to it. :)

Well...ya know, you've pretty much got all the time in the world to choose
the site's title -- compared to registering the domain and coming up with a
Registrant name.  One consideration is:  does www.ldraw.org or ldraw.org
make much sense as a Registrant name?  Here are a few examples of Registrant
names...some make sense and some are confusing:

   baylug.org       Bay Area LEGO Users Group (BAYLUG-DOM)
   gimp.org         Complete Internet Solutions, Inc. (GIMP5-DOM)
   gmltc.org        GERLACH, JOHN (GMLTC-DOM)
   lego.org         LeGo management (LEGO6-DOM)
   lugnet.org       LUGNET (LUGNET2-DOM)
   mozilla.org      Mozilla Dot Org (MOZILLA2-DOM)
   opencontent.org  OpenContent (OPENCONTENT-DOM)
   opensource.org   Software in the Public Interest (OPENSOURCE3-DOM)
   peta.org         People Eating Tasty Animals (PETA-DOM)
   povray.org       [No name] (POVRAY-HST)
   perl.org         Stonehenge Consulting Services (PERL2-DOM)
   pnltc.org        Pacific Northwest LEGO Train Club (PNLTC-DOM)
   python.org       Python Software Association (PYTHON2-DOM)

So...what you may probably should be wanting to decide now is how you want
ldraw.org to look when someone does an InterNIC 'whois' lookup.  The site
name, on the other hand, can always be decided later, and changed on a whim
if necessary.

Just my $0.02.
