I agree, but domain based blacklists won't hit the ISP/MTA, they'll hit
the domainowner.

This is not entirely true as far as HELO checking is concerned. :-)

Yes.  That's true if HELO is a FQDN.  If SPF and CSV succeed in 
resurrecting HELO as a necessary mail identity, the MTA operators will 
share the pain.
