I have nothing against charging for a nip_05 address. I am suspicious of invoking WoT.
How does a user test that a nip_05 address is valid from their perspective?
I understand that it is valid from YOUR perspective. It just ends up being the same problem as TLS. I am ok with TLS. They do somethings to verify that you are who you say you are and I have no choice but to trust them, but it isn't web of trust.
