Many sites will already be dropping such messages..

With ADSP, many more will be dropping it, because there is no way to tell  
that iwhether it should have had an ADSP record (except by building in  
special knowledge that ".com" is a special case). Consider the case where  
your vanity domain was bill.oxley.home.co.uk.
