Is identity by itself useful at all for spam if a spammer can simply use 
someone's infected PC? What about spammers "minting" new identities?

It seems that identity and trust go together, and the kind of identity 
we need depends directly on the kind of trust you want to use it for.

P.S. Incidently, I saw a presentation from Dave Crocker listing 
different types of identifies. I lost the link, but if I find it, I will 
post it here.
