Hi Mark & Ana Jones,
Domain suffixes are intended to bring order to the Web, but unfortunately
they are not being forced. '.org' is reserved for non-profit organisations
so your assumption was correct.
Here are a few examples of discrepancies I am aware of:
http://mookitty.co.uk/ - I am pretty sure that gal is from Arkansas.
boren.nu - The guy is from Dallas, definitely not from tiny Niue.
I don't know who forces suffixes (if anyone). I think domain registrars only
want the revenue and will not go to great lengths and become stern w.r.t.
domain names.
