That looks important and useful.

It is not clear if this is quite the same application, but certainly
close. At a minimum we want to be able to transport REPUTE assertions
over whatever protocol we develop.

I can't see a REST type protocol layered over HTTP being a viable
replacement for DNS client-recursive resolver. But whatever broker is
working is going to be wanting to pull REPUTE type data.
