 why the names are different from DNS domain names.


I think this is where Andrew's distinction between "the DNS" and a larger
concept of name space is needed. Onion names are different in that they are
names for a different resolution process which uses a distributed hash
table operated by the Tor network nodes instead of the root DNS servers. My
apologies if this seems over simplistic.
