I would support something like that, and, for example, I could forward 
it to the EU (the original proposer of the "enhanced cooperation" 
moniker). We could try to make as much noise as possible to ask what's 
up and request inclusion.

Apart from inventing some new technology which would render the DNS 
obsolete (something I've often thought of, but no groundbreaking idea 
yet), I can't see much of that.

On the Internet, you need to attach added value to something for people 
to embrace it. So, can we imagine anything practically feasible and 
having sensible advantages over the present DNS system and arrangements?
