BLACKLIST URI Request Rules

Hi VRT,

We're noticing that many of these rules released yesterday seem to be generating a high number of false positives 
and/or the URIs may be pre-compromise indicators. I read your blog posting re how these rules are developed 
http://vrt-blog.snort.org/2011/02/blacklistrules-clamav-and-data-mining.html

I am curious about what efforts are made to separate potential benign or pre-compromise indicators from the evil and/or 
post-compromise. Also, is there any interest in receiving reports on potential false positive caused by particular 
hosts/domains to add these to the rules as negated content matches?

Thanks,

Chris
