1. Right now you practically need a unique Bitcoin address per transaction.
2. DNSSEC is on the edge of becoming illegal in the US.
3. Emails aren't merely domains.
I would propose something like resolving foo@bar.net to a SRV lookup for
_bitcoinaddressresolution._tcp.foo.bar.net, expecting a cert for bar.net,
making a HTTPS request for /bitcoinaddressresolution?foo@bar.net, and also
sending an email to foo@bar.net (the usual way) signed with the keys used for
the transaction. ;)
