I wouldn't want such an authority. But I was wondering whether a
'node' with the potential to assume such authority already exists.

(The possibility that _every_ email would require a postage stamp is a
variation of this question. But then, of course, every ISP would
voluntarily announce an immediate 50% reduction in subscription rate
because they would be relieved of the cost of transmitting spam....)

Thanks,
Bill
