Should the spec explicitly bless this behavior in any way, perhaps by
obliquely mentioning that in publishing a softfail result, a domain
owner is effectively soliciting these sorts of helpful, well-behaved
DSNs?
There was once a report= draft floating around here that went into
this concept further. Caller-ID also had a thing that allowed domain
owners to request a report a certain percentage of the time on each
fail of each mechanism, but I think the XML for that was kind of
overkill.
