The fact that [DNSBLs] are widely used is sad, not a justification
for standardization.
True. The justification is not simply that they are widely used; it is
that they are widely used, they are often done wrong, they are of
tremendous value when done right, and of actively negative value when
done wrong.
I agree that this might be a justification for standardizing some sort
of reputation protocol. But it's not at all clear the document at hand
describes a protocol which is technically sound, and it certainly
doesn't have rough IETF consensus. I'm willing to defer judgment about
whether such a protocol might reasonably resemble DNSxL, or whether it
can reasonably use DNS at all - but I have reason to doubt it.
