An intriguing suggestion.  If the hash is HMAC-SHA1(domain, username),
its hex representation is 40 octets which fits comfortably into a
DNS label.  Dictionary harvesting attacks by following NSEC records
are a bit harder, since HMAC with the domain as a key makes the
use of rainbow tables less useful.
