4.1.2. Does Every Domain Name Have The Same Meaning Everywhere?
Your claim is that today's differences in DNS answers for a same name,
as we see them today, are not real differences because they don't
change the user experience, or because they are done for good (malware
domains filtering). You forgot a very important use case,
censorship. Today, if a domain name works in Germany and not in France
because of differential censorship, would you say it is "not really an
exception"?
Let's face it, we no longer have a common namespace and names no
longer have the same meaning everywhere, even when taking only the DNS
in to account.
Depends on what you mean by meaning. for a resolver they still have the
same meaning. You stlll use DNS to resolve them.
You're saying that because some companies do geo-location using DNS, and
other countries use DNS to effect censorship that we should therefore
break DNS completely by wedging in new protocols?
The actions done by the geo-locators and censors don't change the fact
that the names are resolved in the DNS.
This is what special use names breaks.
