  Many details remain to be filled in.  Comments, suggestions ?

1. There are two aspects of depending on email as a business.  One is 
sending.  But for most businesses receiving is even more important. 
And that's receiving from end users.  How do you do that without 
involving spam?

  A business can "receive" via a webform.  As a matter of fact, a
customer can keep track of their order via webpages.  Businesses can
get around spam by using webforms for incoming requests.

2. While this creates a desirable service for businesses, and it 
potentially avoids the danger of negative legislation in the personal 
email space, does it have any attributes that directly help eliminate 
spam in the personal email space?

  The mere fact that it's "personal email", rather than a business
facility will allow end-users to use more effective filters, even though
they risk more false positives.

Email users are divided into two classes;
1) Those who have effective spam-blocking
2) Those who wish they did
