+1 for vocab-people etc. -  looks sensible and scalable to me.

We're chartered for GLD. Our prime 'customers' are government agency.  
Let's be honest and stick with what/who we are. Don't get me wrong - I  
love the idea that the stuff we write is reusable and in a sense  
applicable to other domains, but I think we're sending out the wrong  
message. I fear that in an attempt to maximise potential reuse down  
the line we fail to show respect and dedication towards our main  
audience: governments.
