I'm puzzled. If you said the logistics are too time-consuming to carry

They're saying providers are unlikely to /implement/ a guaranteed-to-bounce address. In other words: even if you write & submit an RFC (which you can do on your own, without asking ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org first), nobody will follow it.

I think there's a slim chance that some providers might be okay with the idea, so my advice to you would be to go and ask them. Start with real-world implementations at big, influential sites, and design the standard from there.
