To get specific for a moment, my suggestion here is that the IETF take a
look at what the W3C and the general web community is doing around 
navigation, tagging (see Technorati, del.icio.us, flickr), advances in
NLP that Google is working on, etc. Perhaps the solution is to tell the
world that DNS isn't really meant for your grandmother or your favorite
polititicain and instead we're going to do something at the web layer
that's more in tune with how people are actually using the Internet, not
how mail gets routed....

Do it with telephones first, as a proof of concept.  If there's still
a usable telephone network after that, then perhaps it might be worthy
of consideration for the Internet.
