Here's another idea: why not use Namecoin [1] to keep the data? It's fair, no one owns it, and everyone can query it.

What about a simple proposal for the convention of firing a query for a mailing address before each mailing, by such means as:
1. HTTP request to (something like) "/address.txt"
2. *blank* email with subject line (such as) "address"
I wonder how difficult it would be to get the whole world on board with this, to the extent that a domain name or email address is accepted in form fields requiring mailing addresses.
