Many people sent in helpful comments, which I've tried to reflect.

Changes:

Correct RBL history
Add discussion of use for URI blacklists and in scoring filters
Note IPv6 lists are possible even though I don't know of any
Note possible traffic analysis
Many minor editorial changes

Please take another look.  I'd like to make one more minor round of 
updates and then ship it off and see if I can get it through the RFC 
process.

Would it be out of place to note in the document that RBLs allow MTAs
to reject mail rather than discard it? The various RFCs documenting
SMTP all emphasize the necessity of not losing messages, so I would
think you could mention that a properly used RBL conforms to that.
