    (Note that I've not examined OpenDNS's offering, so I'm _not_ pretending
    to comment on what they do.)

    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
    you may be trying to access: ..."

    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.)
