There have been a few discussions (published and in the f2f) on technical
approaches to resolve issue.  e.g.- a commonly published file, some response
header metadata, and even a few approaches using DNS.

I agree, there are loopholes with all of those technical approaches.  But
they are technical solutions.  I'd suggest, the best approach is to find one
(or more) technique where it is reasonably easy to be a good actor to
promote adoption -- and a reasonably easy bit-trail for groups to detect
groups exploiting a loophole.
