IMHO, The term "collateral damage" has been well established in DNSBL 
vernacular to mean listing of additional non-spamming objects in an 
attempt to promote policy change, or possibly a listing error.

Perhaps it could be defined in the document, but I believe the term more 
or less stands on its own.  See
