A number of people in the UK who are FreeBSD advocates have uk.freebsd.org addresses, including me (joe@uk.FreeBSD.org ;). I don't see anything wrong with this as long as they are not abused. In addition we have a ukug.uk.freebsd.org domain that has a shell account machine on it and various people have accounts there. (ukug = uk user group).
