It will quickly become specific to the IN class space when we get beyond the label and include the resource records that are also "stored" at each node -

One of the reasons I liked your definition is that it sounds like it was intended to be useful well beyond specific characteristics of DNS protocol.

I suspect Andrew's right that CLASS can't really be made to work in any case, but it seems to me it's worth continuing to explore how well the namespace can be discussed separately from assumptions about resolution protocols, data stored at the described nodes, etc.
