To me the question comes down to what is the purpose of the domain in 
the URL.  Is it to assist in resolution of the system or is it to allow 
selection of the credentials.

In the former, then nt_dom;server makes sense because that is pure 
server information.

In the latter, then nt_dom;user:pass makes sense because the credentials
are placed together in the userinfo section.

But I would agree that nt_dom;server is still sexier as URLs go.
