I think http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-asrg-dnsbl-07 is good 
and hope it won't be delayed further. However, I have a general 
comment which may apply to it and/or the (yet unseen) companion 
document mentioned in the intro.

The document doesn't plainly say that rDNS follows hierarchical 
delegations while DNSBLs make independent statements about someone 
else's IPs. This fact and its implications are so obvious among the 
readers of this document, that the very explanation of rDNS is 
confined between parentheses in an incidental sentence at the 
beginning of section 2.1.

However, who are those readers? Specifically, what documents should a 
politician or a judge read in order to become acquainted with DNSBLs? 
The question is relevant because assigned IP addresses are somehow 
part of a country's territory and IMHO should be administered as such. 
(In this respect, I'm surprised that governments don't run their own 
DNSxLs or, at least, endorse existing ones.)

Because of the importance of the Internet in general, I would suggest 
that RFCs include a legal considerations section for aiding lawmakers, 
where relevant. Am I out of line?
