Do you think an alternative DNS root zone could add any value? Chris Jeffrey (bcoin) and Joseph Poon (lightning network) created Handshake DNS a few years ago. You need however an ad hoc resolver to acces the root zone.
Not without securing records with pubkey cryptography. Otherwise we will have the same problem: the need to trust that root operator and the nodes below it.
