Oh, no. That's wrong. You want to continue using DNS 'for what it was
built' which is mapping between names and addresses. You just don't want
to use it for this particular, new name/address mapping.
RMX/LMAP drafts address the question of relationships between a given
domain and a given MTA's IP address. There is nothing wrong with using
DNS for this purpose and as a matter of fact, the XMPP draft uses a very
similar mechanism via DNS.
HOWEVER, if you want to store sender's identity in DNS that is a
different question. Then, I would agree with Hadmut that DNS was not
designed to store information about specific email accounts.
