Of course I am against "fraud" of any kind, but I don't see the IETF
having a hand in this issue. Outside of explaining that the problem
lies in that the DNS query does not convey the intent of the query
(like, "it's to get a web page"), there isn't a much of a role to
play.
Ironically - in the past year, the DNSOP WG considered a proposal
called "white lies" in which falsified negative answers were to be
used to prevent someone from using DNSSEC records to discover all of
the contents of a zone. "Falsified" became "synthesized" and at
least one RFC got produced (http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc4471.txt).
There's a fine line between record synthesis and fraud.[0] We can
talk about the synthesis, but fraud isn't a technical issue.
