Lexicons are impossible to do via the NIPs. That is because it is not allowed two ways to do the same thing. So, the first idea to do something is set in stone. And there's various other ways to do the equivalent of a lexicon.
However did-nostr already uses linked data schemas (like schema.org) which is a global standard (lexicons aren't), so we could build the equivalent if we can figure out the requirements.
