Maybe one should assume an extreme, adding e.g. a "DATA" RR and imagine that DNS replaces HTTP, Napster and everything, and then answer why this is bad in _technical_ terms. I.e. explain exactly what part of the DNS protocol and infrastructure wouldn't scale to this and why. Saying "DNS wasn't intended for that" or "don't do that" without justification does not convince me.
