If I want to pick up subspace <X> on my cancer node, I can either QR a
percentage of queries outside that subspace, or DNF a percentage quickly
without trying.  Putting the code in the stock codebase improves
routing.  Saying "It's an attack" is worthless, since if it does indeed
teach the other node your specilization, a cancer node can do it NOW.

How do you propose a node learn of another nodes spec?  At some point
you HAVE to make use of information returned from a probable cancer
node.
