Why is that?
It's not my contention that it could be done in practice, just that the
ongoing "discussion" about a "new email paradigm" based on pricing
email, email postage, etc. as a IETF standard to thwart spam might have
more than a technical consideration to its implementation (which doesn't
mean a programming language, but how you'd get millions of server and
billions of users to cooperate and adopt it worldwide).
