This is a fundamental problem and I don't think there is a solution. A public space is abusable. A private space must be controlled by someone and therefore suffers from DNS-like problems of control. I think you are incorrect, however, in saying that DNS-over-Freenet needs a secure public namespace to work. DNS-over-Freenet can work in the sense that you can give it a domain name and it can give you an IP. If you use a public space for domain name registration then domain names are not controlled by anyone in particular, but can be changed by anyone. If you use a private space for domain name registration then someone can censor or spoof your domain names. That's just fine. It's not the utopia that you could hope for where you have unspoofable anarchy, but that's okay since that's not possible. It
