The DNS trick isn't a requirement, the transport protocol can use any method of getting the peer's public key. Also, P2P apps can use whatever transport security they like, they have no problems there. The firewall issue is a real one. Those users are stuck. (Note that it's intended that browsers probe for such a setup, nothing should break for them.) The utility may be zero, we'll see how it goes. If the transport layer sucks as much in 12 months time, I'll be trying something else.
