in my experience, to some extent the actual domain name has become a consideration in recent years; not as big a cosideration as some would lead you to believe though. it's not a dealbreaker with the robots at this time.
however, i would stress that keeping an eye to the future is imperative at this time.
i repeat... those damn spiders are getting smarter every day; the smarter they get, the more spider food they chew on... in other words, it is inevitable that as they "understand" more they will give more weight to word relevance issues such as the actual domain name.
