Can you say, "Doesn't scale"? I knew you could. :-)

There's a lot of work going on in this direction. Take a look at:

No, this is about URLs. It's conceptually similar to DNSLOC, but you don't need to have that level of control over your DNS to make it work -- you don't even need your own domain name. You just need to be able to put some meta tags in your HTML.

You couldn't assign location to a hundred different livejournals with DNSLOC, for example, but you can with GeoURL. And IIRC, DNSLOC is meant to locate the host; this is meant to locate the content of the destination of the URL. If one wanted to, every page on a website could have a different location -- picture a bunch of local restaurant reviews, for example. As a concrete example, my results tell you where I am -- even though the server they're hosted on is in NYC.
