I suspect that might be a tough sell, given the existence of anonymous
remailers that support similar functionality much more cheaply.
What's wrong with the existing anonymous remailer (Mixmaster) approach?
What's the killer advantage of the new scheme that will make it be
compellingly better than existing technology?  Type II remailers seem
pretty good for most people's threat models, and the price is right...
