why not?
whatever is the underlying address...
if i use my pubkey or hash of my pubkey as 'key' and the 'value' i publish to the DHT is my address and the pubkeys of ppl i am connected to, then anyone could query the dht to lookup that information and then repeat the process with the pubkeys i am connected to to see who they are connected to and so on ...until i find a path from me to my target and then i can route my packet.
this is my understanding. i might be wrong - as i am not a cjdns expert, but the mechanism as such makes sense. in principle it would work.
