If the browser uses DNS directly, it won't be able to use NIS/LDAP, 
WINS, Bonjour, or LLDNS.

Firefox on GNU/Linux uses getaddrinfo, as expected.

It's just about an optimization.  I think it's doable, except that we'd 
receive pushback on the query load issue.

Right, that's one advantage of the ANAME proposal.
