For what it's worth - if DNS continues to (d)evolve at the current rate, I expect it soon to be usurped by other directory protocols that perhaps only use DNS to find their .NET or whatever NameResolverService. Grabbing the namespace is way too juicy a target for many to let it die and degrade without trying to take over. Why is it dying? The current issues with DNSSEC, AXFR interoperability, the arbitrary creation of some top level domains and not others and the UTF-8 plugin & takeover by VRSN. So I'd be all in favour of looking with an open mind towards 'DNS2'.
