I like that one of the recommended solutions is to use named addresses instead of wallet hashes.

DNS and domains instead of IP addresses

That is a non-solution. DNS spoofing is notorious, and it's same for any "meaningful" names. If there isn't a checksum it's actually harder to detect a typo, human brain tends to autocorrect it. Domains also rely on trusted third party and are stolen all the time.
DNS(/namecoin) and domains instead of tor addresses rather.
