So I think the questions are:

1. Key Server:

   1a. Do you agree that storing public keys in the DNS is the way to go? or

Yes.

   1b Would using some form of HTTP retrieval or HTTP key server be better?

It adds another level of complexity.

2. Working group project management

   2a. Should the working group focus on the current, DNS-based
mechanism now, and pursue additional mechanisms later? or

Yes.

   2b. Should the working group include development of a
non-DNS-based mechanism as part of its initial delivery?

There are already implementations of 2a. Including development of a non-DNS mechanism would only delay delivery.
