Very good well rounded post that looks at all the possibilities and acknowledges the current traffic and use.
A few things I see.
There will be tm cases without a doubt. And Company names should, and have a right to. As far as I see vendée is a generic term. Many sites use this in a website name with the .com attached. How a website owner views this and a wipo judge views this are two different things. But I would suspect that if vendee can be used in many applications with the .com then I can't possibly see this as a problem.
As far as what people are taught, people can be untaught also. This is just a matter of schools telling children, children telling parents, parents telling friends, ect. ect. This wont happen overnight but with the traffic these have currently I can't see it taking to long to catch on.
As far as the space in domains I also thought it was a no-no in english domains but just last night I saw "M&Ms" using it on tv for their new chocolate bar website. The use of the word "never" is such a strong stance. When things seem to change constantly
