I thought, according to Mr Schluting, that that's about what we're doing -- 
changing the whole system?  Oh, wait, he doesn't want the current system 
to change because that would break legitimate e-mail.

He better make up his mind or he'll be complaining about e-mail abuse in 
2016 still.

Key point:  Certain "legitimate" e-mail is indistinguishable from abuse.  
Either abolish both or permit both.

Uh, what?  An intermediary like MS or Verisign?  What for, I wonder?
