DNS Black Lists are part of the crtitical email infrastructure. 
Someday a bogon routeserver service like this one:
http://www.cymru.com/BGP/bogon-rs.html
might want to use anycast. It is part of the critical routing
infrastructure. It would be good for the policy to be based
on the principle of supporting fault tolerance for critical
infrastructure and then it can have a checklist of indicators
like TLD operator, anycast implementation, freely available service
and so on. It is a good idea to have a checklist that makes the
policy easy to implement by the hostmasters, but it is also
a good idea for the policy to have a clear foundation statement
to cover anything that was not considered in the checklist.
