 this is what nip05 is for except it uses https instead of dns and already built into every client

 The fake @jb55 could still stand up a valid NIP-05 using a different address and then put your domain in the profile. 

That’s why you need the triangulate with the DNS TXT record (in a way, this is a continuation of the argument I’ve been having with @fiatjaf for nearly a year except I hadn’t thought of the fake Nostr handle issue until now. )

FYI we met very briefly at Bitcoin 2023 and I was going on about adding NIP-05 npub to DNS then.
