like Paul, i'm not commenting on the specific technical value of the
draft. i haven't read the updated version of the draft. however, when i
read the previous version, i remember that to be practical it requires
a greenfield implementation or would have to be represented in a dns
system other than the one common root system used on the internet. almost
as if it could just as easily be an entirely standalone namemapping
system instead of DNS.

also, as i recall when this draft was discussed before:

2) this draft seemed to be the result of some thesis project in the p2p
   space that aimed to solve the thesis problems by changing dns rather
   than solving the problems by utilizing dns

3) there was much assumption and conclusions that weren't anywhere near
   consensus. at minimum there existed so many empty phrases ("IPv6 is
   large") as to hide value that could be taken away and reorganized
   into a draft that this WG could do something with, if we had a problem
   this draft could address.

i'll try and find time to read the new version to see if anything changed,
but based on the last draft, i don't think this should be a WG priority
or work-item without first a problem statement that we can all agree on.
