With the Open Assets protocol I was always a bit hesitant because in the protocol you point the assets to a website address to point to any meta data.

While meta data does not interfere with ownership or transactions, it is useful information for each asset.

What if the Open Asset clients started incorporating Namecoin? You could use a .bit address so there is no central point of failure where someone could hack the domain server and change the meta data.

Sure, the host could be hacked but you could just point the .bit address to a backup IP address.

Any thoughts on how easy this would be to combine or if it is a good solution?
