The rest of the entries are shown in bold because they are "application
names".  The string "NIS domainname" is not an application name so it
shouldn't be marked up as one.

No, please.  The semantics of the <application> element should be not
abused just to get a "look and feel that we like".  If the rest of the
application names look odd because of their bold font we should probably
consider removing the application tags from the rest instead.  A lot of
bold words sprinkled in a seemingly random manner among running text
look worse than something that abuses the <application> element IMHO.

This is, of course, my own personal opinion and should be taken with a
grain of salt ;-)
