Tor,

I am not sure if this the correct forum for this question and if not would you 
direct me there; however:

I am aware that there is a Project Idea (under 
https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en#improvedDnsSupport) 
point q. Improved DNS support for Tor; however has there been any exploration 
or development of a fully fledged DNS system for Tor that could give human 
readable names to hidden services?

This could give full DNS control over the domain and expand on the project 
listed above.  This would give a step advance in usability of Hidden Services 
and therefore the user traffic and public awareness.

If further consideration is given to also pursuing the registration of the 
.onion domain as a TLD, this could also open further publicity and revenue for 
the Tor Project.   The domain auctions for .tv and .co raised significant 
revenue for the Tuvalu and Colombian countries not to mention the managing 
organisations.

Has any of this been looked at previously or are there reasons why this is not 
being pursued?
 
Yours sincerely
