Actually, the problem with e-postage has nothing to do with standards

I strongly concur with John: nobody has come up with even a remotely
plausible method of solving this problem.
And even if someone did -- that solution, whatever it turned out to be,
would be rendered moot shortly after deployment because the same abusers
who currently control a few hundred million 0wned systems (and are using
them to send spam, among many other things) could just as easily use
them to completely disrupt the economics of that solution.
