RE: how blacklisting will work in the future: pki a ccreditation

I see the interests as being balanced rather than conflicted.

An accreditation provider has two interests:
  1) Issue accreditations
  2) Maintain a high accreditation value 

The key here is that the evaluation of the worth of accreditation is not in
the hands of the accreditor, it is the spam filter that assigns this value -
in most cases empirically.

So the accreditation provider has to see (2) as being fully compatible with
(1) over the long run. Only a short-termist accreditor is going to blow
their reputation by being sloppy.

Well, that sounds good.  Apart from the conflict-of-interest problems,
we seem to have mapped the problem domain to the solution domain, and
the solution domain to the economic domain.
