Apparently so :)

I have now made an automated comparison of domains, by searching if an 
appropriate .rs or .me domain exists on the same IP address. Rationale: even 
if someone squats someone else's domain (and this is rare, so far I have not 
seen a case of it), it is unlikely that they will also choose the same 
provider and get the same IP.

The list of IP comparisons, and shell scripts for pywikipediabot for all the 
projects, generated from it, are at 
http://toolserver.org/~nikola/yurs_bare.tar.bz2 . I have made the scripts so 
that they will only only change  "bare" domains, as we don't know if contents 
of pages on the domain has changed. For that, full page-by-page comparison 
would be necessary, but that was a bit too much for me.
