If there is a lesson here, seems to me it's that those innovative protocols should be designed such that it is relatively easy to prevent or at least discourage "bad traffic". Because that's in the long run easier (read cheaper for those of you of a free market bent) than educating users in an ever changing environment. It would be a bit rich to criticize SMTP (for instance) as misdesigned for not bearing this in mind given the difficulty of anticipating its success at the time, but there is a lesson here for other protocols. I can think of one rather obvious one which would seem to allow delivery of junk in many similar ways to SMTP; hadn't thought of this before but we should be learning from our mistakes^Wprevious valuable experience.
