You missed the point of the scheme then.
My handle on Blue Sky is @phill.hallambaker.com, my domain, I control it. I
just added a TXT record to bind my ATmosphere DID to my address.
Yes, I get that, I'm @jl.ly. I believe this could work technically but I
do not believe it is a problem that many people care about.
It's a lot like web3, you control your own data with cryptographic
assurances that everyone claiming to be you is the same entity, but with
DNSSEC which can scale rather than blockchains. Web3 went nowhere. I
don't see why this is different.
