Call me old-fashioned if you will, but I take the view that a purely
hypothetical paper design to address a largely hypothetical problem, with
unknown security problems, unknown user interface problems, and unknown
interoperation problems have no place in a document about actual e-mail
practice.
If this is a viable solution to an important problem, why haven't you
implemented it yet? There's no shortage of open source MLMs to adapt.
"Running code and rough consensus" requires running code, you know.
