I think the move to more specific domains is better and .org should be a relic of the past. For instance, consider:

people.org people.health people.art

The last two actually imply what they are about, but the .org could be anything.

Trust and faith in the service associated with a domain needs to be built with standard channels like word of mouth, advertising, good business practices, etc.

To me an industry-specific TLD just says "We couldn't think of an original name."
While that's not inaccurate, I don't think it's a problem. It makes no sense to require everything to have a globally unique name.
Hmm, yeah now that I think about it more I agree.
