Wow, there's just a garden of good ideas growing in this thread. Welcome alphabeater.

I especially like the idea of a domain name for each user, not only does it make it easier to verify a user's identity but it eliminates the need for public entry points into the network. You don't need a list of peer cache servers if you alredy have a buddy list. I think with that system in place Zeropaid or someone else would host their own deidcated peer cache node for new users, which would be a huge boost for a new p2p client just being introduced.

People are going to IM each other whether their p2p provides that service or not. Any client that does incorporate IM will be that much easier to use. I liked the idea of Aimster even if I didn't use it, it's goal was to take advantage of a well established community model rather than trying to create a new, untested model. IM is intuitive, that's how p2p should be.
