Oh OK I see, you are actually talking about *delivery* and not *read* receipts 
here, about transport-level security concerns, e.g. to avoid spamming readers 
from unauthorized senders, but also to avoid correlation whilst doing that.

Even solving all of these issues perfectly (whatever that means) can't 
reproduce the functionality that *acks* provide, which ignores the transport 
and offers a contract between authors and readers.

Also I'm not sure if I understand those definitions properly. For example, 
what's the difference between M0 and R1, and why do you say that Pond has R0 
and not R1. If Pond has R0, what does R1 even mean in that case?
