You are right, the 'at' paradigm is present elsewhere, and it is always connected to the fact that the user is included, with his data, in that domain.tld system.

But Nostr is decentralized, the user identity and data are disconnected from the NIP-05 domain, this is just a proxy to the npub and some additional informations. Actually, I can have more NIP-05 too.

I don't know, I understand we are exiting a comfort zone, but I think it's worth thinking about now.

Right, we are trying to bridge from a user-domain paradigm to a un-domained key-pair paradigm. I don't know if a third way exists and would make for a reasonable and useful bridge.

NIP-05 is really just human readable pseudonym for an npub, by definition. I don't see a way to shorten or make human readable an npub without pseudonymization, so if already pseudonymous, what system would be more intuitive?
