Rather than a reputation system subgroup, something more along the line 
of a legitimate senders clearing-house system which establishes 
postmaster contacts, and tracks repeated feedback from vetted sources. 
It also seems that tracking and reporting a few other metrics not 
related to what is and is not spam, but rather levels of feedback, 
levels of repeated feedback, purported traffic volumes, and purported 
message categories, associated hostnames and signatures, would also be 
useful.

When moving to IPv6, only a system based upon who is legitimate can 
scale.  This approach might help mitigate claims of bias.  If this 
flies, then a labeling system could go with it. :^)
