Yes. It's also pretty easy to believe that ditching DNS completely in
favour of something without 8 billion warts would be helpful.

Certainly, it would be possible to standardize it. Whether it would
be "trivial" to get it deployed is quite a different matter. The
evidence to date is that there is a very, very long tail in any change
having to do with the DNS. We are still, to this day, fighting with
sysadmins who are convinced that firewall rules on TCP/53 are
perfectly reasonable, even though DNS _always_ used TCP.
People who believe there are going to be easy fixes to the issues
coming from DNS are deluding themselves.
