On a related note, for those of you interested, the IADB (ISIPP 
Accreditation Database) is now up and running, although not publicly 
announced yet.  You can read information about it at:

http://www.isipp.com/iadb.php

What is unique about the IADB is that it is designed to list not only 
IP addresses, but also associated domains *if* the listee is publishing 
an SPF record, and conversely IADB listees will be able to get a unique 
"accreditation code" to put into their SPF records.
