No NAT.

Decentralized DNS, because centralization is a weakness that makes the internet vulnerable to censorship, etc. And DNS is a major weakness in my eyes. Also, anti trust/monopoly moves preventing content providers from owning or attempting to control what should be dumb public pipes ala public roads.

Truth servers: 1. User address 2. domain code 3. data address 4. data 5. data version 6. digital signature 7. signature verification algorithm - and depending on the importance of the data you could store the data on multiple servers to add redundancy and prove the server is telling the truth. - root user addresses could be used like name servers to store other types of truth servers, user names etc. - could add some kind of currency/time storage protocol to manage free loading. - you could have some kind of trust network by putting I attest that at this time this server returned this version of the data and/or I verified the data was signed. - or I attest at this time this server(any server including web) returned this data and here is a hash of the data - reputation could be stored by putting a transaction code and each party agrees they did the transaction and it went well and here's the contract with index-able properties.

  Then you could have a contract server(s) that has legal contracts that are: 1. indexable 2. forkable 3. parameterized - signing party 1, 2, witness, state/province, jurisdiction, allowable arbitration, etc. 4. digitally signed.

How about transparent fair pricing contract/database. 1. if you post your prices you agree your not offering other prices for X amount of time to anyone else for that marketplace product code. 2. skill/service codes priced by the hour 3. marketplace product code for all vendors 4. you can fork a product/service/skill code but need to list a reason, xyz feature(s) is/are different or just a contractual difference or something.
