I agree with this. I will say that, when I first started working on this with Warren, it was really for the use-case where people would tread on the namespace as a protocol switch -- we wanted a sandbox in which things like onion could live. My memory is that only after that did we start thinking of a sort of 1918-style part of the DNS as well. That may have been a mistake, since as this discussion is showing the properties of an in-protocol, in-DNS namespace without delegations are somewhat different to alternative-protocol uses that do not rely on the DNS at all.
