I notice in that article that it says CAMRAM requires 23 bit hashcash
stamps.  This is a stamp considered of sufficient value to add a user
to a whitelist, right?

I wonder if it would make sense to take the default 20 bit hashcash
token as a once-off exemption from challenge-response / filtering
false-positive, to improve hashcash interop story.  (Once-off so that
next time the hashcash user still needs to send a new token as no
auto-whitelisting has occurred.)
