No, but I've read what you've forwarded. Sounds good, but my instinct is 
to wait until more people are working on it before thinking too much 
about it ;-)

Preliminarily: I think DSHTs are obviously great for getting data by its 
hash. I'm not sure yet about distributed indexing, which is also 
important; for example, in Gzz, we need a "find all links to and 
transclusions of this piece of data" query. Here, it does not suffice to 
find a single link/transclusion; we need to find all. DSHTs will 
probably not help here.
