Had a quick read, some good ideas, but it has renewals, which I think are an unnecessary  user cost.  So prefer nomen, maybe they can combine effort.  NIP-05 is not bad, and nomen allows .nostr names.  Can also extend DNStr.  Ultimately the best way will be on-chain commitments so names can be changed and traded.

 i need to read the proposal carefully still but i worry renewals make these identities not very self-soverign 

 Yes, same problem with ENS.  Especially when they raised renewal prices massively. 

 agreed. the ENS DAO has too much politics/centralization for my taste 

 thanks for sharing nomen. i was not aware of it. i will study it closely and share my thoughts
