a peer 2 peer replacement for DNS tops my internet wish list;
with such, we would not need the top organizations we have today,
it would be much harder for anyone to claim the net and thus
we wouldn't be having this discussion.

of course, a p2p net of that size is a challenge but it's that
kind of thing that make engineering fun :)
