Domains and disciplines are orthogonal concepts, marking a wire as discipline "electrical" (voltage & current) doesn't indicate a domain. Drivers and receivers belong to simulation domains e.g. discrete, continuous or (say) frequency. Verilog-AMS specifically handles the case where there are mixed discrete and continuous drivers (aka contributions) on the same net.
I'm not sure how using disciplines declarations (as in AMS) would be confusing vs the arbitrary insertion of "interconnect" which has no precedent. At least if you say it's "electrical" you know it's a physical connection and not something abstract.
