  I would then say to NOT add my comment as 7a), but instead a new
entry:

n+1) Every network element must be permitted to administer their own
     anti-spam policy, irrespective of anyone elses policy or consent.

  Some people will object strenuously to this statement, for various
reasons.  But the reality is that this is already happening today.
It's called dropping packets when the link gets full.

  The network is not reliable.  The network does NOT enforce your
wishes to communicate with others.  It's best-effort, and your data
may not make it through.  We already accept this behaviour, and I
believe that we should make such acceptance explicit for anti-spam
solutions.
