It must mean was it always meant, you can't redefine it by a
decree.  Wayne's idea to stress the real meaning of "Neutral"
in -01pre was better.

Of course there is this old issue of a specific "Neutral" vs.
a dummy "Neutral" (as caused by the default ?all), but it's
far too late to modify the original results.  More than one
year too late,

The only way to introduce a HARDPASS (as proper subset of PASS)
or INTENTIONALNEUTRAL (as proper subset of NEUTRAL) today would
be a modifier,..

...as in op=auth (formerly known as op=scott).  Rather useless
without a technical definition what receivers are expected to
do with it.  But your nightmare, a clueless reputation system,
is unlikely.  Such a system would have the time to distinguish
INTENTIONALNEUTRAL from dummy NEUTRAL by simply looking at the
policy.

And whatever happens with your INTENTIONALNEUTRAL, it's not the
same case as the ?all for say aol.com.
