There are whitelist DNSBLs.

No, there aren't.

If it's a whitelist, it's not a blacklist. As for operational use  
of a
whitelist as a blacklist, see my mention of Habeas below.

I have to agree with Steve, here.

A whitelist using a DNSBL-like publishing mechanism isn't a DNSBL.
It's a whitelist. A DNSWL.

The interesting case is where a list is being used to publish something
like metrics or datapoints about mail delivery (e.g. ISIPP) and it's not
purely a blacklist or whitelist, just something email-related  
delivered by
DNS. That seems even further out of scope for a BCP on binary  
blacklists,
though.

Cheers,
   Steve
