Actually, the problem with e-postage has nothing to do with standards
and everything to do with the fact that nobody has any idea how to
implement it in a way where the revenue would come within a couple of
orders of magnitude of paying the infrastructure costs.

If you're going to say "don't do it that way", remember to tell us
what way we should do it.  The hand waving is getting a little old.
