FWIW, I'm both itching and scratching.  I haven't bothered spambayes- 
dev with posts about my failed ideas (I will post when there's  
something I think is worth testing by others), but if there are  
others who are interested in working on this at the moment, please  
speak up and I'll be more vocal about the failures.

(I am documenting the failures, and will put that somewhere at some  
point).
