I don't think I said that, jay. I'm arguing for as simple as possible, but
I'm convinced that the single-click is too simple and dangerous. Where I
think you're confused is my discussion about double opt-in e-mail vs single
opt-in vs opt-out stuff. None of that, per-se, is implemented by one-click
(or GET vs POST) stuff, although you could. You could implement any of those
with one-click, or conformant to the W3 stuff.
