I was wondering if the best system to build a global PKI wouldn't be the
DNS system already in place?

This is an ongoing argument. Essentially there are two camps:

  Pro--there's a global database out there, let's put useful stuff
       into it. Certs is a no-brainer, but people have also argued for

       sink inventories.

Just FYI: the Kitchen Sink RR has been proposed...
