Bitcoin users might be interested to install the software, but the other 99% percent of the consumer base won't care enough to install some plugins for some obscure domain name system. You can beat the network effect of the system the entire internet uses.
This would be my strategy if I was running Bitshares DNS:
1) Create Bitshares DNS to spec
2) Create a traditional company
3) Have that company create APIs that allow easy support with legacy DNS systems.
4) Make tons of money selling the APIs to backbone. You reduce the workload of backbone providers by 90%. You can save the hundreds of millions of dollars while getting Bitshares DNS out there. Blockchain based DNS system solved:
* Domain Squatting
* DNS Poisoning
* Long DNS Propagation Times
* No need for specialized hardware anymore. Just needs to be able to run the Bitshares Client.
* Eliminates downtime and censorship
5) Suddenly now everyone supports the system with no effort on the part of the users

You missed the secure protection against man in the middle attacks. (compromised SSL certs)

Indeed. You could do awesome things if you added Keyhotee to the mix. Using basic public-private key encryption you could create secure channels of communications between the server and user. Resistant to man in the middle attacks as you stated.

It's best to disable case sensitive
and do you have some rules for the domain name string?

With the current DNS system you can wait 24-48 hours to get your correct settings to go through. With a blockchain system this is whatever the block time is. Top level providers can simply replace their current systems with Bitshares DNS as a back end because it solves all the propagation and issues that they spend 90% of their time trying to fix.
Its an easy sell to the backbone providers.

Propagation is really important . It should be fast. Also another thing is the delegation of records. How is it to be created and organized?
