In the current world the closest approximation we have to reputation systems that are planned with LMAP are blacklists and Senderbase. Given that current blacklists have numerous problems, why would any proposed reputation or accrediation systems of the future be any different?


  If you base the accreditiation system on something other than
personal prejudices (which is what most content filters and blacklists
end up being), then the accreditation becomes a little more useful.


How are we planning on avoiding the same problems we have today in
the future, if we want to deploy such systems?


  Keep the accreditation focused on simple data which can be trivially
verified in the network.  The only reason to have a centralized
accrediation service is to simplify record keeping.  e.g. You *could*
find web pages by rooting around the net yourself, but it's a lot
easier just to use a search engine.


What about the draft that was suggested in the following message:
