While I agree that most ISPs don't want to be involved, the reality of 
it is that filtering bulk mail is a far easier problem to solve than 
filtering spam, but a lot of bulk mail is actually wanted/desired.

As a mailbox provider, it would make my life a lot easier if I could 
whitelist every piece of bulk mail that a user actually wants upfront, 
allowing me to blacklist (or score down) with impunity.

Unfortunately, this is a FUSSP since it would require virtually all bulk 
senders to comply in order for recipients to yield benefit from it.

Never try to extort more than it would cost to have you killed.
