I don't think there is much difference from a 
user point of view if you have 5 groups or 5 
fields. In both cases, you need to have unique 
names to resolve to each page, and the unique 
"part" is either part of the domain spec or part of the page name.

For example, what is the big advantage of:
         http://project1.example.com/pmwiki/group.page
over
         http://example.com/pmwiki/project1.page
???
You have to have a group specified (main, if 
nothing else), so why not make it meaningful?

Also, users rarely need to "type" a group name. 
If they are linking to a page in the same group, 
then [[pagename]] is sufficient.
