I think it's feasible (in the long term) to make OVMF look for
"standard" fw_cfg files under "org.qemu/", and for the OVMF-specific
knobs under "org.tianocore.edk2.ovmf/". (The longest knob name OVMF uses
at the moment is 24 chars; it would fit.)
It's just that I don't see how a user is any more likely to randomly
pick "opt/ovmf/" for his own ad-hoc purposes than to pick
"org.tianocore.edk2.ovmf/".
Anyway, I agree that RFQDNs leave a few characters for the actual knob
names, and they are mostly unique.
Thanks
