Hi Oscar,

that's neat - however, how shall one interpret the ".gin.ggf.org" 
string? E.g., we use VO lists like

https://www.pdc.kth.se/grid/swegrid-vo/vo.atlas-testusers-vo

which are interpreted by the mkgridmap kind of utility, and as each such 
list uniquely represents a VO, there's no need to mention the VO name 
explicitly, right?

Cheers,
Oxana
