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.
