Also check the Open Alias project. It's based on DNS+DNSSEC but it
offers the usability feature you mention (nice addresses).

I am new, so apologies if this has been asked before.

<div>Here are a few questions to start with - </div>

<div>I was wondering in terms of mass adoption,

<div>This address translation can happen with
