What's there to "invent"? The point is that these need to be identified as
URI. So, convert to URI and then lookup in SURBL.
It just seems like a useless rathole to go down.
(1) Website maintainer uses technique X to obsure addresses on his site.
(2) Spammer notices that his harvester failed to "decrypt" X.
(3) Spammer copies technique X and uses it to obscure his spam.
(4) SA programmer devises a way to decrypt X to block the spam.
(5) Spammer copies algorithm from SA into his address harvester.
(6) Website maintainer starts getting spam, so he devises a new X.
(7) Repeat at (1).
