From http://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/egs/beehive/codons-sigcomm04/node15.html "CoDoNS enables multiple namespace operators to manage the same part of the name hierarchy [...] Ideally, competing operators would preserve a single consistent namespace by issuing names out of a common, shared pool. In the presence of conflicting or inconsistent records, clients simply pick the records signed by an operator they trust, similar to the way they pick between separate sets of root servers today. Essentially, nameowners have the ability to choose the namespace operator that will endorse their records based on price, service and functionality."
