I see this or rDNS and rMX as complementary to LMTP, but I think it's a 
less useful scheme than LMTP.
Also, http://www.dnsbl.au.sorbs.net/DUL-FAQ.html is essentially a 
centralized version of MTAmark, and it's an existing system that doesn't 
need any new software or evangelism effort to be supported.
In terms of priorities, I don't see 'em at the top of the list, when 
adopting them would, like LMTP, require a large evangelism effort, but 
for a relatively small gain. Also, they don't provide the selfish 
motivation to implement that LMTP benefits from.
