This pig is less aerodynamic, and fewer people are pushing.
In-addr DNS and whois are simple and well-understood protocols, with many programmer-years of software development behind them.
The problem isn't the marginal cost of a single transaction, that might only be one or two orders of magnitude higher. The problem is the overhead cost of trying to force a poorly-architected system into a semblance of production-quality. If you want something that anyone can _actually rely upon_, that's a precursor to doing the incremental transactions.
