Your are right, in turn: after reading the "deployment" section, it is 
fairly clear that a transition is not necessary. I'm not sure how well 
point "Voluntary participation" 2.3.9 of Danny's criteria connotes 
your framework as not being an anti-spam technique. I think it may 
actually have more chances when explicitly targeted to guard children, 
rather than generically "non FUSSP".
