[Asrg] Final(?) draft of DNSwL draft

[Jim Fenton]

Based on a very quick read:

Reference [3] should probably point to something at Trend; the page at
mail-abuse.com looks like a temporary redirect.

Section 2.1 refers to the address values used "may have other values as
described below" but, aside from some discussion of how values may be
logically ORed, I didn't find this.  If there isn't a consistent set of
meanings, please say so.

Section 2 should also have some discussion of the operational problems
associated with DNSxLs, such as the problem that one has if one is
received an allocation for a "tainted" IP address.  There is no
consistent means of getting off all the DNSBLs that people use. You
might also mention how many DNSBLs there are.

Section 3 should mention the need for some sort of email authentication
in order for the domain name to be meaningful.
