3) The draft's author compares a DNSBL-only "solution" versus a

sufficient reason to reject the draft. In the anti-spam community the
derisive term FUSSP ("Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem") is
applied to any attempt to solve the entire spam problem with only one
tool.
I'd put it that the draft compares a DNSBL-only "solution" versus a
"everything else" filter "solution".
That's manifestly misleading - most effective and/or large scale
filtering uses a hybrid of mechanisms. More useful would be see how
DNSBLs can/can't supplement other techniques.
But the sample shown in the draft is manifestly too small/atypical for
this to be done.
4) The draft-author advocates dropping standard POPmail in favour of
a webmail interface. The whole point of the anti-spam battle is to save
traditional email. Advocating abandonment of traditional email is not a
solution. And what happens when spammers start successfully attacking
webmail?
They already are.
