FBL?  What a horrible misuse of an already common term.  Is there a cite
for this or can we change it?

Would you expand on that, please? In particular, it doesn't seem 
misused to me, according, e.g., to wikipedia's definition[1]

  Feedback loop - the causal path that leads from the initial
  generation of the feedback signal to the subsequent modification of
  the event

and its application to email[2]. What "already common" acceptation do 
you mean?

For MLMs, there is a tradition of equating a feedback signal to an 
unsubscribe request, thereby preventing the possibility to use a 
list-specific FBL for cooperative list maintenance. Section 1.3 does 
not mention this, but conveys the idea that abuse reports should be 
routed differently when reported messages belong to lists.
