As one would expect, Bill doesn't deal in grey, just black or white.
The discussion of IN-addr seems a bit exaggerated.

I would wonder whether the IPv6 world has really given up on the
reverse domain.

Anyway, there are some technical questions:

Are these responses cached?  If so, how?

How is this integrated with other DNS services, if at all?

It seem like there is a bootstrapping problem whereby you have to know
a key associated with the destination to securely ask it for its name.
A short explanation would be good.
