I've found that often, DNSBL effectiveness is stated as "it blocked this
much spam" with no discussion of false positive or negative rates.  Once
the FP% and FN% are measured, the picture becomes a lot clearer ;)

This can be expended to measuring the effectiveness of any anti-spam tool 
(within the consent framework this would apply to source tracking 
components and consent systems themselves).

If you or anyone else is willing to work on this, go right ahead, just let 
the chair know.

Ah, time's a problem. ;)  However I'd be happy to help out if anyone is
working on it, at the review/comment/helpful tips stage.
