Can you cite your souces in this date? Where did you get that '1992-ish' bit of data, and how much -ish would you say accurately that is?
I already knew most of the pieces of data you shared on your post, because I studied computer development and network development history when I graduated Computer Science Teacher. I still get the feeling you wrapped that specific slightly-diffuse bit of data around a lot of all-well-known yabba-dabba...
Do you really know there was anything accessible through a DNS by connecting to a TCP/IP service and querying for a regular URL that would get translated to a specific IP and give back a renderable object to whatever you were connecting with from your side?
I always knew something like that wasn't possible before 1995, but couldn't back that up with proof. If you can step up with some proof for what you say is what happened, you might change my mind on the matter.
Thank you!
