While I think that Bill Manning's DNS TXT suggestion is clever, and nicely distributed, it requires a lot of effort.actually, I think both efforts have about the same level of effort. In one case, its concentrated in a single place, in the other, its all over the place.
The nice thing about central is that things will get done, or not done, consistantly. You tend to strike a closure point at some time. In the distributed "all over the place" model, things may never be consistent, nor will they ever be complete. It is also difficult to enforce quality standards.
