Of course, that does depend on DNS having a protocol to run over. What we really need is a DWIW protocol suite at each layer.

Yep, but the point I was trying to make is that DNS over UDP works well today.

It's also worth remembering that most of the world has 2G connectivity. Heck, even I'm 2G most of the time (rural UK).
