and that's a pretty big advantage.  requiring that submissions be done
only via SMTP seems a bit silly and self-limiting if you ask me.  

HTTP would be able to provide a super-set of the features of SMTP
submission, would not prevent SMTP submission from remaining as an option,
and is more likely to work in diverse environments.
