In other words, make the root server address part of the name.  So, just 
to be clear, you're no longer suggesting an interactive resolution 
process.  That's what pushed my button.  Okay.  While I don't think what 
you're proposing is particularly reliable or advisable, it should be 
technically possible.  The way things work today, there isn't one single 
address for the IANA root.

The question is "what happens if I maintain my domain and someone else 
adds one with the same name?"
