Please do.  If you come up with any concrete ideas, please share them
with us.  The current discussion seems to have degenerated into a
religious war, and, as such, I won't be participating any more.  (Plus,
Chris Davis and David Barr always make my points anyway... =)

A solution like "Have a forwarder to send unknown addresses to" is
prone to serious configuration errors - what happens if two people
configure each other as their unknown-host forwarder?  Don't just brush
this off as a configuration problem; your main complaints with the DNS
seem to be caused by configuration problems.
