Namecoin works great in a vacuum. It would be amazing if DNS already didn't exist.
But using namecoin with DNS allows for duplicate and erroneous entries in one or the other. (DNS record != Namecoin record).
Currently most namecoin advocates pretend the former is the case. And it isn't, because have DNS currently. Namecoin is a complete re-invention of the system. Not a iterative improvement.
My issue is that in its current state one can make a namecoin entry that is correct as far as namecoin is concerned, and incorrect as far as DNSSEC or standard DNS is concerned. Thus rendering the system in a weird state.
