You are playing with words. CoDoNS separates name service and name
delegation but there is still a monopoly on the name delegation, which
is the important stuff.

- With CoDoNS+DNSSEC, the natural namespace monopoly is gone. 

False. CoDoNS does not magically allow me to register microsoft.com
and have it distributed to the world.

Naturally, R1 and R2 will have to cooperate to not issue conflicting
bindings for the same name.

That's the problem with most "one namespace, several registries"
proposals. There is still a registry to coordinate the so-called
"several registries" so you're back to step 1.
