<name>+<list> is not configured.  They're magic... if your MTAs are
configured so anyways.  These uses exist precisely because they were
a) permitted, b) handy.  So now we have to deal with them.

It's true that we don't have to specify a lookup service to deal with
fuzzy matching.  However, the <name>+<list> users will have start
manually publishing those.  That seems like a pain.

Also, using DNS for this opens mail domains to zone walking to find
mailboxes, whereas a proper lookup service wouldn't (it would still be
an oracle, but there would be no NSEC* to facilitate discovery of all
email addresses at the domain).
