Do we need a replacement of DNS for this?  Delegation information
still needs to come from one place, I'd say, because the race
conditions inherent in having more than one authority (even
co-operatively managed) would be at the very least frustrating to
users.  But once the delegation information is updated, would it be
enough for that to go to more than one DNS operator with more than
one code base running in more than one location?

I couldn't agree more.
