I believe there is also a scaling issue. If the well-known address mechanism is truly limited to unicast (and not anycast) addressing, an enterprise can only deploy as many recursive name servers as there are reserved, well-known addresses.

Another potential issue is that deployment of hosts using the well-known addresses will force network operators to support DNS service at those well-known addresses, even if some other service architecture would be better suited to that network's requirements.
