... but it's actually way too complicated to implement.

A much simpler approach would be to make abuse-c: an optional attribute
(basically, unrolling the "mandatory" part of the policy proposal that 
introduced it in the first place)

 - If you want to handle abuse reports, put something working in.

 - If you do not want to handle abuse reports, don't.

The ARC could be extended with a question "are you aware that you are
signalling 'we do not not care about abuse coming from our network'?"
and if this is what LIRs *want* to signal, the message is clear.

The NCC could still verify (as they do today) that an e-mail address,
*if given*, is not bouncing (or coming back with a human bounce "you have
reached the wrong person, stop sending me mail" if someone puts in the
e-mail address of someone else).

MUCH less effort.
