I don't know what the thinking of other people working on LISP is, but I can
give you my thoughts on this point.
Simply put, I don't like designs which _invisibly, outside the host_ tie into
the DNS because it takes two separate subsystems (DNS resolution, and basic
packet forwarding), and tangles them together, which is bad engineering for a
number of reasons (makes it harder to make further changes, creates more
mutual dependencies, increases overall fragility/brittleness, etc).
Some NAT variants do this too, and I especially didn't like them either! :-)
