Make nip 05 providers also email providers. I realize this adds a large burden for providers if they want to provide an email client, but they don't necessarily have to do that. I made my NIP 05 (hodlbod@coracle.social) into an email address with an MX record. NIP 05's could do that with users' existing providers.

Lots of sharp edges there, but I really think the right UX is to have the same name for both protocols.

People don't want yet another email address they don't check; I suppose the NIP-05 could just become an email forwarder to the user's real email address though

Yeah, I think the default should be either to forward messages to the user's real email, or an auto-responder that says it's not an email address (or both).
