Does this make sense as a future work item for the (presumably rechartered) 
MARID WG?  Or does this sound like a separate WG?  As mentioned above, MASS

"No, Yes" (please lets not do it here)

FWIW, a quick survey of the nascent accreditation/reputation service market (bonded sender/senderbase, cloudmark rating, verisign's upcoming accreditation list, numerous open community projects) reveals a strong disposition of using DNSL-like protocols. Unfortunately, while the query mechanism is standard, the query format and result are not necessarily so.
