Cute, but we both know that you are avoiding the point.
Here's the point, in three sentences:
a. There is very little than can be done about companies providing
substandard service, or even screwing you over, when they have a
monopolistic stranglehold on you.
b. In your "eDNS" model, registrars have this stranglehold on you, because
you you cannot switch to the services of a newer (better) registrar
without having to also change domain names.
c. With the IAHC plan, if a registrar is providing unsatisfactory service,
you can switch registrars, while keeping the same domain name.
