.pnr sounds a bit like "personal number" and nothing like a plan of any
sort.

Question is, do we need to trademark Planner? We had a thought of
calling it Imendio Planner when we changed the name, perhaps we should
go ahead and doing so.

Not sure that we should change the suffix then. The suffix doesn't need
to be only three letter either, so if we can come up with a better name
than .mrproject (which is a really lousy name these days ;) that is like
four letters that's totally fine.
