It would  destroy the integrity of the dns and produce a tower of 
babel. Cnn you imagine multiple services like this?

You'd have to use the right plug in for each one.

They wouldn't  work for protocols that don't use a browser eg z39.50

Theer would no longer be a single dns for you to get an IP number 
from and you'd have to check all these Micky Mouse dns services.

This is little better than a get rich quick scam.
