I disagree that "whitelisting" is a reserved trademark of the anti-abuse community.  It's a general

Richard,

The trademark model is interesting and probably useful here.

Trademarks have context.

Search on "whitelist dns"

Since there is long-standing practice of anti-abuse use of the term for A records there as no doubt it would be -- and indeed is -- need to use it for AAAA records.
