Having the sender of xbmc messages as xbmc is important, only messages with xbmc as the sender can be guaranteed to have actually come from xbmc.
I think when you are getting notifications from different computers (this is what you are wanting to do isn't it) you would have to connect to each computer individually, and you would know that if the message arose on xyz connection then it came from that machine.
Thanks othrayte, that's exactly why it should stay "xbmc". Furthermore the option to name an XBMC device has only been added a few weeks ago. But as already stated you have to "manually" connect to a certain computer so your client should already know which machine that is.
