It is a distributed ledger; calling blockchain here is certainly not crazy-talk.

I mean, I was being a bit facetious, but there are actual proposals for blockchain backed DNS.

Yes, this is an application where the blockchain wouldn't necessarily be stupid.

I don't see it as necessary, to be honest, and given the frequency with which people lose access to their wallets/have them stolen, I'm not entirely sure the bulk of domain owners would want bearer instruments to be the sole way to manage (or lose) their domain.
