Hi Scott: You really don't need a consensus - you just need to be consistent!
My suggestion: The various RBL and WhiteList/Blacklists are all based on "membership" in that appropriate "list" of IPs. So, "OSSRC" means, this mail returned "true" when check if the IP is on a list of servers that are likely SPAM. SPAMROUTING means this mail returned "true" when checked for suspicious routing that's likely SPAM. BADHEADERS means this mail returned "true" when checked for bad headers that are likely SPAM. SPAMHEADERS means this mail returned "true" when checked for suspicious headers that are likely SPAM. Accordingly, future test names should describe the situation that makes them SPAM. Wherever possible, I would TOTALLY omit ANY negative/positive implication. ENVFROM, PERCENT are good examples. To be consistent you should have named: ENVHELO - instead of HELOBOGUS/HELOVALID REVDNS - instead of REVDNSEXISTS I'm not saying one is better than the other - I just think for usability reasons you shoulnd't look for consensus - but just implement ONE method and stick to it.
