Nicely done. I would add to "Recipient Control Over Whose Messages Are 
Accepted" the following points.

- Users want to be able to divulge an email address to a specific party 
without running the risk of receiving mail from everyone that party may 
choose to share the address with.

- Users want to be able to revoke the right of specific senders after granting 
them the rights to send. For example, un-subscribing from a mailing list 
should not depend on the mailing list manager honouring the remove request; 
it should be a unilateral action on the part of the recipient.
