I'm a big fan of the .tel TLD for this, and other reasons: publish contact information dynamically, it's fast, reliable, gives you fine grained privacy controls, etc. etc.
I don't understand why this hasn't really caught on yet. The implications for the telco market would be huge if more people used DNS to its full potential.
That's a very good point, although it's changing; specialist registrars/resellers, directory publishers, and VOIP companies are all showing interest now. But I was thinking more about early adopters - the type of people who hang out on HN and register domains in their sleep :)
