Not "into" - on-top of or as supplement. And for specific type of
email identity security protection.
This would be a required component for all DKIM signature verifiers,
because there is no point building verifiers that can't verify all
valid signatures.
Let's not re-invent the wheel. DNS already provides delegation of
leaf nodes (CNAME) and interior nodes (NS). It already works. People
who are unhappy with their DNS service can vote with their wallet.
