Seems like exposing readable unique resource identifiers inevitably brings some sort of confusion and/or unjustness.
The only fair alternative would be no visible URIs (UUIDs or plain IPs could be used) and better search. There still is the ordering of results and SEO issues, but it's up to user—change your query or search engine if you aren't satisfied. The security issue (phishing) would require a bit more work to sort out, but I'm sure that's doable.
Domain names could still be used, but strictly for basic infrastructure-related things, like search engine directory.
