RMX/LMAP drafts address the question of relationships between a given 
domain and a given MTA's IP address. There is nothing wrong with using 
DNS for this purpose and as a matter of fact, the XMPP draft uses a very 
  similar mechanism via DNS.

HOWEVER, if you want to store sender's identity in DNS that is a 
different question. Then, I would agree with Hadmut that DNS was not 
designed to store information about specific email accounts.
