Outdated name data is dangerous because it could include TLS fingerprints that were later revoked, or even the wrong owner of a name, both of which could be exploited to cause a MITM. It's also confusing to users because some websites will work fine, while others will be mysteriously broken.
I propose that name_show and name_filter return an error by default if the blockchain is incomplete (still downloading), or if errors were encountered (e.g. "you may need to upgrade"). An optional parameter (disabled by default) could enable name lookups regardless of this condition.
