As has been said before -- not everyone uses ZEN at SMTP level for
blocking. There is a reason SA includes ZEN by default, don't you think?

This holds true regardless of SBL CSS. Moreover, adding SBL CSS to SA
does *not* require an additional DNS lookup. The ZEN lookup is already
part of stock SA -- all that's needed is actually using the new return
value.

Also, "SBL CSS included in SBL" actually depends on your processing of
the returned value. SBL CSS uses a new, previously un-used, dedicated
return value of 3. If your SMTP blocking is strict and processes
known-to-be-used values only, you'll need to include SBL CSS -- just
like the situation is with SA.
