Not quite the same thing. A nonexistent TLD could come into existence
at the whim of ICANN at any time, at one stroke imperilling all the
names that had been informally using that namespace. Whereas a namespace
explicitly set aside by those who control it, on the
specific understanding that it will be unregulated, gives us some
assurance that it will stay that way.

purl.org does indeed sound like the right sort of idea. And not
specific to D-Bus or any other particular application area, too.
