What would make it easier is if there was a standard output type for
sending the entire transaction to miner fees, that would make even large
transactions propagate that would normally be dropped by fee/kB rules.

Hm. maybe it could be called a "return operator" or something like that? :)

Use dust-b-gone and make it someone elses problem to get it relayed. :)

That's a sub-optimal solution, as it introduces a third party. What if
his server goes down?

An universal solution is preferable.

Then start the server yourself. There is no replacement for
aggregating multiple bits of dust in single transactions. Other ways
are less efficient.

You can already OP_RETURN to include your dust, but miners aren't
going to automatically take that over transactions paying more in
terms of fee/byte.
