thinking of using DNS is tempting
The main arguments I see against it are:

overall DNS infrastructure in general.
Can you expand on this a bit?
Routing and DNS, which are the two essential elements of the Internet control
plane, are e also its Achilles' heels. It can be argued that making routing
validation dependent upon the DNS would make this situation worse.
The main reasons for it are those Danny stated:
1. DNS exists.
2. DNSSEC is in the initial stages of deployment.
3. There's additional relevant work going on which would make DNS more
suitable for this application.
4. Deployment inertia.
I kind of like the DNS idea. Though some challenges have been raised in
this thread that warrant further discussion. In particular the in.addr
delegation scenarios between RIRs.
