That does make more sense.  I just copied the existing markup and
wasn't happy about it.

I don't see great harm to doing this, but I don't understand why it's
necessary.  Why can't 3rd-party SK plugins just be regular WordPress
plugins?  If a 3rd-party SK plugin is a WordPress plugin, it can be
installed using the WP plugin installer.  If it's just a file to be
put in the proposed plugin data directory, then people have to fire up
their FTP client, adding unnecessary difficulty.

I think all we need to do is add an action hook at the point when we
load SK plugins, and 3rd-party plugins can attach a callback to that
to instantiate their classes.

Is there another RBL site we could use to replace blbl.org, the one in
the RBL plugin?

I think adding SK plugins is great, so long as it's okay with their
authors and their licenses.  Do we know how the Akismet one is
licensed?
