It is OK for discoverability to be on a "best effort" basis... it is a hairy problem.
But doing worse than DNS in reliability of finding the web servers that serves a key? that is very weird. We can make reliably resolvable keys... but many don't care because they think about everything from the point of view of the most hairy problem, when everything barely work, it is hard to notice the problem.
We can have URLs that resolves to resources just as reliably as you expect from the web... let's do that.
