Dare, thanks for the post. I'll re-read this more carefully because I think you're raising good points that deserve in-depth consideration and replies. Note: I've tried to bang existing specs together to make them work for all of the requirements we have, and have concluded that at least some invention is needed. If not, nobody would be happier then I!

Yeah, I think they went overboard with identity/spam handling. IMO the natural place to deal with those issues is at the point-of-entry (POE), site or client through which comment is submitted. POE injects what it knows of the commenter, signing where it needs to, then forward the tagged salmon up the stream. As it moves up stream, further tags are added as needed to reduce scope of validation at destination.
