There is no exact definition of "what is supposed to be seen at the
address by the machine initiating the query".

I'm not sure I understand why you think this is a problem.

The correct answer to "what is supposed to be seen" is
_site_ dependent.

Assuming you mean the site responsible for the address concerned, then surely this presents no great problem.

If you mean that every other site on the Internet ought to be able to assert its own policy on the name associated with a remote address, then that seems like an unusual perspective.

Perhaps you could clarify.

Is the working group seriously considering this draft? I must have
missed it on the agenda. (though I note the archive only goes back
to 11/30/06)  I've been busy, recently.

You might like to review the minutes of the meeting in Montreal.
