Actually, that's only one solution.  It's the easiest and hence the
reason it's being preferred.

The probably *right* solution is to fix all the documents specifying
implementation with respect to naming that assumes the DNS is the only
system (URLs) [1], and all the APIs that make use of it (getaddrinfo).
The list of RFCs to update to allow namespace selection is far from short.

[1] note that this statement is both right and wrong in many ways.  I'm
avoiding the more complex aspects.
