It is an expansion of the DNS infrastucture to also include all those
"things" that today has a "private" IP address (192.168.n.n or similar)
that today are behind NET'ed routers, so that they will be reachable
using their domain name from anywhere.

It is, as I understand it, an 10-50 *times* expansion of the DNS world
as we see it today.
