Have you followed what the REPUTE working group did?  Its goal was to
come up with a way to publish reputation information more general than
the handful of bits you can get from a DNSBL.  There were some
interesting ideas but it's run out of gas and is about to be wound up.

draft-ietf-repute-model-03.txt
draft-ietf-repute-media-type-05.txt
draft-ietf-repute-query-http-04.txt

If people had stuff they wanted to do, I expect it could be spun up
again.  If they were sufficiently researchy and people had concrete
plans, I could probably persuade Lars to let the ASRG continue until
they were done.
