Sounds like a plan. As far as accessibility goes, when I released CFFormProtect I was chastised by Sandra Clark because it blocks blind people from submitting forms. This is true, but I think you have to consider your audience. In my case, most people that use my forms are CF developers, and I could be wrong, but I don't think any of those are blind. However, if your form gets 1000 spam messages for every 1 legitimate message, you'll never see comments from your users. So Sandra suggested using an approval queue, but personally I HATE those.
