Please note that the BoF scheduled for Korea, MARID, has a very specific topic and that discussion of other spam-related issues is not appropriate for that session. The BoF agenda is available at:
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/04mar/marid.txt
To quote the salient part of the agenda:
This BoF will be strictly limited to measures related to MTA authentication; no
other anti-spam measures or topics will be considered. The BoF will explicitly
consider how DNS-based MTA authentication mechanisms would be implemented and
deployed, and it will consider the impact on the overall DNS infrastructure of
this deployment.
With best regards, Ted Hardie co-chair, MARID BoF

If we can communicate the fact that a message is discarded because it was categorized as spam back to the sender without adverse side effects, then occasional false positives aren't much of a problem.
I nominate this statement for #1 on that list of principles.
