AFAIK Namebench measures latency and we measure distance for
recommendations. Availability is not taken into account.

I support this. Punishment shouldn't be too hard, though. What would
be really useful as a measurement AND motivational tool would be
targeted availability and current measured availability. This would
also provide a key performance indicator to which nameservers to
recommend to users.

Two new columns where one can be filled by the server admin (aka. "I
bet I can get 99,9 % availability this year!") and one for the
measured value.

Availability records that are compareable would be a big motivation,
at least for me. I record my T2 availability already, but cant compare:

Sorting by availability+age would provide a good hint to the quality
of the server, IMHO.

Greets,
Falk
