Just a note: the main thing about classnames in the domain config is we 
should not be using them to identify the implementations of plug points 
that we ourselves ship. If a subsystem allows custom end-user provided 
implementations of a plug point, exposing an alternative config 
attribute/element that accepts a class name is ok.
