This is not a coordinated mechanism - its just a standard for abuse reports. Such abuse reporting standard is intended mainly to make the ISPs' jobs easier and spam reporting more automated. For example, if such standard was implemented, abuse reports coming to an ISP can be automatically parsed into their helpdesk systems, saving time required to read and transcribe them. This can definatly free up time for the ISPs to go after the spammers themselves.
