Hm, I had a dream last night and the wild idea that the URI application of DDDS [1] could be used to replace or augment WebFinger for the process of associating Mastodon IDs with URLs. DDDS is already used for telephone number portability for both ENUM and SIP, so it would be an appropriate use case.
Of course, this (and SRV records, for that matter) would preclude pure web clients from being able to look up IDs, but that's not a problem an HTTP DNS proxy couldn't solve.
