I am not convinced that DNS belongs in the Internet area. It's an application. I think if we need a place to discuss broader DNS innovation, then it should be in Applications.
But I also have pretty strong doubts that "DNS innovation" needs a place for such discussion, on the grounds that when we _had_ such a WG nobody did any work. It was just a mailing list and WG for people to say, "Get off my lawn." Document reviews languished for months or years. LCs resulted in no comments. Why shouldn't that work go on in the WGs that want the innovations in question? Why shouldn't people who know about the DNS involve themselves in the protocols that want to use these innovations so that, instead of being Defenders of the Protocol Faith, they are engineers trying to solve practical engineering problems that others have, but in a way consistent with the deployed architecture?
