What would really help here would be standardize a way to measure toxicity. We could then track a specific string toxicity over time, and maybe then define a threshold where it is OK or not OK to delegate that particular string.
I would personally agree with your assessment that maintaining this list in
6761 is problematic, for the reason mentioned in section 3.f of darft-adpkja:
"f. [RFC6761] does not have provision for subsequent management of
the registry, such as updates, deletions of entries, etc…”
