Whether or not it feels wrong for you (I don't like that either), 
however current mtn allows you to create such branches:

$ mtn ls branches
biz.thomaskeller.mtn.test
test/branch

so there is no restriction in branch naming I suppose? In the end this 
is just a cert and cert values have no mechanisms to be restricted to 
certain types or even to match regexes, do they?

So, somebody proposed the syntax some.branch/Trunk to let "Trunk" be a 
subbranch of "some.branch", so unless branch renaming will be available, 
this will pretty much conflict.
