....ie: a dwelling suspended from a balloon, something along the lines of a zeppelin...but brought up to date.
how do land-laws and air-space regulations resolve themselves..if someone wanted to permanently moor themselves somewhere....much like a a caravan in the air?

Depends how HIGH and WHERE.
You have to face air regulations (FAA in US, CAA in Europe), and set your house in a "free zone" and altitude. Choose your location with air traffic maps.
If above 1500-2000 feet, you have to keep in contact with an air traffic control (even if you don't move). This is more a safety measure).
If you stay over six months over the same spot, you have to apply for residency (and pay taxes).
If you stay over a certain number of years (depends on the country), you have to apply for nationality.
Advise:
Go wherever you want, 1500 feet. Never stay more than four months in the same place/country (select a spot where a few borders join, so you are never really in one country, and never "moor"). Keep a radio to talk to the airmen around, and a transponder (so the Air traffic control knows your location) and set it to 7001 (a fixed ID).
And don't go to UK: from the 1st of july, it will be forbidden to smoke in public places (space is a public place).

Maintanece price is sky high.
Maintenece needs to occur often
I would assume that you need to keep it at the right altitude to avoid collisions from airplanes.
You would also need to keep it well inside your own country unless you want to be considered an illegal alien when wind accidently blows your house over the border.
You need to keep coming down for supplies.
Fuel is expensive.
It is therefore impractical to live in a balloon house.

You would never get planning permission ... and Health & Safety would never permit it :-)
The land owner 'owns' the space above the land to some indertterminate hight (otherwise you could never build tall buildings :-) ) .. above some height the sky becomes the property of the crown ..

LMAO why would you want to live in the air? You could get struck by lightening.
