As we've been having this thread around TLDs, I noticed this item in Hacker 
News this morning of a new overlay network that is designed to use hashes of 
public keys for addressing:

https://github.com/zrm/snow
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9843373
http://trustiosity.com/snow/how-it-works.html

The developer has decided for name resolution **within the overlay network** to 
use "<hash-of-public-key>.key".

I see this as similar to what the Tor folks do with ".onion".

I point this out only to show another instance of a developer seeking to use 
DNS-like names (and even DNS tools)... only outside the scope of the regular 
DNS system.
