Domain names existed before the DNS and are also used by other name resolution protocols than the DNS. I am not convinced that the term "domain name space" has any real currency, or that there's a useful distinction between that and "domain names". Some domain names are resolvable using the DNS protocol. Others are not. I'm not sure it needs to be more complicated than that. I agree that a definition of a domain name as an ordered sequence of labels is probably better than references to graph theory, which I think most people (including me) think they know more about than they actually do.
