It has practical consequences for the user: in France, DNS lies in
ISP's resolvers for "terrorist" sites redirect you to a Web site of
the police, which will get your source IP address and the site you
wanted (thanks to the Host: HTTP field). Clear blocking (DNS lie
returning localhost or NXDOMAIN) is a bit better for privacy. (But
less transparent about the censorship.)
