Perhaps I'm missing something. I'm working with the mental model

is phishing or brand protection, as they're the only concrete problems
I've seen mentioned.

So you're on a tangent about something that's not even vaguely in our
charter. ADSP doesn't claim to solve "phishing", it just allows
bit-for-bit domain names to be safely tossed if they don't have a
signature. How that integrates into the larger anti-phishing modules is
frankly where the secret sauce lies for vendors.

Addressing an issue and solving it aren't the same things. Heck, neither is 
even a prerequisite for the other, given that some problems are 
self-resolving or solved accidentally.
