Not to be a 'nitpicker', but isn't visiting a URL providing a lot more
information that just the email address opt-out preferences ;)
Course, even worse are those companies that have an opt-out link that
then asks for your email address ;) Doh!

Here is what CAN-SPAM requires, following the updated rules issued by the FTC in May of
2008; this is the "single step" requirement:
ยง 316.5 Prohibition on charging a fee or imposing other requirements on
recipients who wish to opt out.
Neither a sender nor any person acting on behalf of a sender may require that
any recipient pay any fee, provide any information other than the recipient's
electronic mail address and opt-out preferences, or take any other steps except
sending a reply electronic mail message or visiting a single Internet Web page,
in order to:
(a) Use a return electronic mail address or other Internet-based mechanism,
required by 15 U.S.C. 7704(a)(3), to submit a request not to receive future
commercial electronic mail messages from a sender; or
(b) Have such a request honored as required by 15 U.S.C. 7704(a)(3)(B) and
(a)(4).
