1) What *immediate* benefits do you get if you are among the first todeploy?(For instance, note that you can't stop accepting "plain old SMTP" till everybody else deploys).You can replace complex and buggy spam filtering software with simple rules on your NIMTP servers.
Erm. No. That's an *eventual* benefit. If you're among the first 10 sites to deploy, you get to haul the complex and buggy spam filtering software along until enough other sites start running the new protocol that you can get away with saying "screw you" and dropping SMTP support entirely. Or you can drop SMTP support immediately, or you can drop the spam filtering immediately - I think both of those are covered by Randy Bush's "I invite my competitors to design their networks this way" ;)
