Furthermore, DNS URIs do not require the use of the DNS protocol at

This is a can of worms at the bottom of a very steep rat-hole. If you
would like to spend the time from now to Vienna (no sleeping, no breaks
for food!) reading email archives of folks bitterly arguing the finer points of
when a URI is a URL and when it is not, let me know and I'll send you
the pointers. But let's not go back over that tired ground here.
From my perspective, the *value* of this proposed URI scheme relates
to how well it can be used to point to things stored in the DNS. Let's
focus on that, as the other uses are likely to be of marginal utility
compared to that.
