as far as Daario being someone else, its possible. and to pull it off on a tv show they would have to switch actors (ie: the reason the barristan story was changed, you cant hide him behind a beard and expect viewers to not notice).

Benjen may not be dead, but hes not daario or CH.

furthermore, Jorah would recognize a westerosi man, even in disguise jorah would hear the accent.

and FINALLY, Barristan should actually recognize Benjen as they shoulda both in Winterfell together a few years ago when King Robert asked Eddard Stark to be hand of the king, as barristan was still in the kingsguard at that time.
Good stuff about Benjen/Coldhands, I just re-read the part with the Children of the Forest, missed that before.

I really don't know, maybe Daario is Jaqen. George R.R.R.R.R.R. Martin is a great author; I don't think he's so misogynistic or simplistic to just add Daario as a boy-toy for Dany, without him serving some greater purpose. But yeah, I really don't have much evidence, I'm just grasping at straws for lack of a convincing theory as to his identity.
