I'm considering submitting a presentation proposal for the upcoming
NANOG which may include related 'stuff'. It may just turn out to be
a BoF , or prehaps a lightning talk -- it depends on how the
presentation turns out... :-)
Instead of 'correction mechanisms', it would be looking specifically
at behavioral aspects of some of this.

Let's quit looking at overly-simplistic correction mechanisms. Do spell=
checkers force autocorrection with only a single choice per misspelled
word?
Return an A RR that points <correction service>-controlled system. Said=
system examines HTTP "Host" header, then returns a page listing multiple=
possibilities.
"The site you specified does not exist. Here is a list of sites that

I'm generally ignoring other protocols to limit the discussion scope.
However, one can see how SMTP and FTP might be similarly handled. (IMHO=
not as good as a SRV-ish system that could return NXDOMAIN per service,
but actually somewhat usable today.)
