I agree that this might be a justification for standardizing some sort
of reputation protocol.  But it's not at all clear the document at hand
describes a protocol which is technically sound, and it certainly
doesn't have rough IETF consensus.  I'm willing to defer judgment about
whether such a protocol might reasonably resemble DNSxL, or whether it
can reasonably use DNS at all - but I have reason to doubt it.
