Might I suggest DNSL, then, instead of DNSBL?
That, is one of the thoughts I had.
This is a Best Current Practices document, and thus we've already been
through arguments about intorducing new practices that aren't currently
in widespread use. Shouldn't we similarly avoid introducing new /words/
that aren't currently in widespread use?

Well ya know I've seen DNSBL = DNS Based List as well as DNS Black List
and DNS Block List.... and you know what for ages I thought the original
definition was DNS Based List (just because that is exactly what it is).
My other thought was exactly that - explicitly use the "based list"
definition, note/acknowledge the variations of "B" in common usage, and
briefly enumerate the other types of "based list" (DNSWL etc), mention
scoring etc.
That's similar to what I did with the terms "spam", "velveeta", "jello"
when I wrote the usenet spam FAQ back in 1994. That document introduced
new terms that are used til this day (and nobody's used "velveeta" or
"jello" since then, thank heavens.
