I think the natural domain name is "scene".
It was the first suggestion and was only doubted because we've it
misinterpreted as implying that it /is a/ scenegraph (rather than /has
a/ scenegraph).
In the absence of a clearer, natural name I think we should go with
"scene" and educate people that think it is synonymous with "scenegraph".
