It seems inappropriate for the IETF to bless lying resolvers as a Best Current Practice. I doubt we as a community could have consensus on when lying is good, when it is neutral, and when it is bad. Without such agreement, we can't agree on how to run such servers. Having said that, the publication of a document such as this (with more input from the community) as a Informational RFC could indeed help the Internet.
