In my head I was imagining a way of telling bitcoin to subscribe to some service(s) that did the mapping@p{--} maybe a setting in the GUI where you could specify "use these six services, in this order, to try to resolve bitcoin addresses that aren't plain-old-bitcoin-addresses."  With the services specified by name+URL (and some standard REST-ful protocol was defined for mapping string to bitcoin address).  Or maybe name+pattern+URL. @p{par}

I haven't looked at genjix' patch, and haven't thought deeply about security issues@p{--} but I bet there are lots... @p{par}
