I don't always agree with Louis, and he isn't always right (but who
is?), but I can guarantee that the ensuing discussion with him is
always enlightening. ;-)
He has been known for riling feathers of the status quo for a very long time.

He has just advocated "multiple roots"
This turns out to be a consequence of his (quite correct) observation
that, for a user, the full context isn't necessary. We already have
this notion in the DNS -- that's what the search path function is for.
M. Pouzin thinks this ought to be much more ubiquitous, in much the
way that you don't have to dial the full phone path (or anyway, not
everywhere) every time you call a local number. From this, he gets
alternate roots. So he's not simply being a crank, though I don't
fully understand how he gets to the conclusion he's reached.
Now, having corrected my previous uncharitable description, I suggest
that if people want to discuss DNSng, we do it on another list.
Best,
