Yesterday  i thought about IF we use our own call it freedombox DNS,
if its centralisted or not,  something like https://whatever  for each  
box would be the goal
(using punicode for domainnames would be a plus)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name


I understand what sam  means , what if someone set up 20 boxes called https://eben_moglen(1) 
  https://eben_moglen(2) or
https://ebenmoglen_ ,https://ebe_nmoglen, https://ebenmogle_n
there is no way to prevent domain squating , or a "verified button" :)
