  First of all, let me say this is not a place for me to give a class.
I am not trying to be evasive by answering your question by that 
comment, it is just not feasible to do so in any meaningful manner on an
E-Mail forum.  I think you can understand that.  In addition I give
classes
all over the world on these matters as part of my living, so as you
might
immagine, I am not really highly motivated to do so here at any rate
on pro bono basis.

  You also half answered your own question.  Becouse Domains names
are mapped in the current structure to IP addresses.  No you also say
that they could also be mapped to something else.  True enough, they
could.  But that infrastructure is not in place and would require at 
least quite a bit of development and R&D to put some other structure of 
this diversity into place.  My question to doing this would be simply,
WHY?  Is this really worth the effort?  I think not at this time.
But possibly at some future date.

  So, otherwise you have, as I said half answered your own question.

NEXT!
