yeah, i saw marc's comment too.

in the ecology of tasted domains who's seo value is tending towards 
the do-not-renew cost point, there exists a reservoir of "aged" domains.

ergo, any scheme to use domain age to differentiate domains acquired 
for spam, maleware, ... purposes, if effective, will result in the use 
of marginal seo assets as spam, maleware, ... assets, limiting the 
utility of an age-aware spam, maleware, ... mitigation scheme.

a closer correlation to seo assets is the registrar and name server 
association, and where slower-than-real-time and cached responses are 
of use, the automated detection of type of value capture at the 
resolved resource, e.g., ppc.

there are other reasons for attempting, as policy, of avoiding 
delivering to the end user a resolution that has some property known 
in advance.
