I don't think that would be the only patent you would need ....

Stephane & Phillip,

I'm thinking of writing a short report that summarizes the 
invaluable 
discussion here and beefing up the system sketch. I think 
we now agree 
that it is possible to have multiple operators manage names in a 
single, shared namespace without recourse to a centralized 
super-registry.

You might want to review patent 7,065,587 as well.  Rather 
than a hierarchical name space, there are GUIDs and "friendly names"  
socially structured into groups.  In addition to friendly 
names, GUIDs can combine with DNS names as well.  There is no 
need for a super-registry, but rather a way to generate 
GUIDs.  Perhaps this is the structure of things to come, 
where belonging to a group matters more than a centralized authority.
