  3.4. The likely endgame for this behaviour is to force senders of
  unwanted bulk e-mail to stop lying about who they are, which is
  illegal in meatspace anyway

Why spoil what might otherwise be a fairly decent piece of work with a
blatantly nonsensical claim like this?  In the UK, the only time I am
required to identify myself as the publisher of something is when I publish
election literature for a local, national, or European government election
(plus cases where an identity of the publisher is inherently part of the
publication, such as certain legal notices).  Apart from that I am permitted
to publish what I like anonymously (provided I can find the
technical/financial/physical means to do so, of course). Do you think the UK
is not part of meatspace? How about the other common-law countries where the
law on identity is much the same as in the UK (including most if not all
states of the US, I believe)?  Are they also not part of meatspace?

As long as you make nonsense claims like that I for one may well be unable
to take you seriously and may simply disregard any statement you make that I
can't check from personal knowledge; after all you have demonstrated to me
that you are happy to make clearly counter-factual statements in support of
your case.
