Paul,

Why would anyone need a certificate in this system? The binding to a public
key is intrinsic to the whole naming architecture.

Come to that, why would anyone need .dns??? If namecoin is going to replace
the DNS, why make the mistake of upper level hierarchy? Surely the new
system should be the apex of the hierarchy and the legacy DNS subordinated
under .icann.

I do have a solution though. There are some TLDs that are not expletives
that are almost certain to be permanently withheld from issue. I suggest
they consider using .pot or .weed.
