Re:Worthwhile to scratch and start over? (Score 1)

I just have a hard time envisioning this. How is Aunt margaret's E-mail going to get to you if DNS is out of the picture? Maybe your speaking more of a combined solution. However, E-mail is not the greatest example because it opens freeways of problems. Are you going to allow users to create E-mail addresses from their own namespace? how is that database going to be maintained? The problem lies in the fact that everyone will have to be connecting to a central server at some point. All those severs must be interconnected. If I change my namespace how is Aunt Margaret going to find me? She'll have to connect to her translation servers to find out who I am known as now. At some point there has to be a larger repository which everyone has to connect to.
