It's kind of outside the IETF's expertise -- there are people in the IETF 
(not in this WG) who believe that DNSBLs were a failed experiment in the 
1990s and nobody uses them any more.

There's also the perverse incentive that if you define the way filters 
work, you're giving bad guys a road map to avoid them.
