Future Compatibility with IPLD Storage

[0xc0de4c0ffee]

Our current offchain records resolver is designed to be backwards compatible with IPNS+IPFS, so we've to make sure that we don't break IPNS+IPLD patterns for future.. it'll be lot easier to manage json records with IPLD compared to IPFS/..json files as "Linked Data". We've to write that as next ENSIP to simplify dynamic dweb designs OR fully depend on IPNS+IPLD specs.

Old Scratch pad using js-ipfs in browser :

// require js-ipfs

const data = "Hello Namesys";

async function x() {
  const _ipfs = await Ipfs.create({
    config: {
      Addresses: {
        Swarm: [
          // This is a public webrtc server
          "/dns4/wrtc-star1.par.dwebops.pub/tcp/443/wss/p2p-webrtc-star",
          "/dns4/wrtc-star2.sjc.dwebops.pub/tcp/443/wss/p2p-webrtc-star",
          "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/13579/wss/p2p-webrtc-star" // run your own 
        ]
      },
      // If you want to connect to the public bootstrap nodes, remove the next line
      // bootnodes copied from GO-IPFS node as js-ipfs's bootnodes are wacky
      Bootstrap: [

This is good to keep in mind on the side. I will remind myself of IPLD's technicals again. It will perhaps matter when building the IPNS service for the records manager client, which could also double as IPLD service, ?if I am not mistaken.
