But if these aren't fetchable that easy anymore, they (the spammers) will look for other ways. A skript like this is easy, look at the things that are used for comment or trackback spamming. I think worldpress or movabletype blogs have been attacked like this and changed form and field names. But this is only another logic step and no real obstacle. If you are the only one using this with COREBlog, then, depending on your blog-reach, perhaps nobody every takes the trouble to write such a skript, but if it is implemented in every COREBlog site and COREBlog suddenly is the blog of choice ;-),...

I don't think that's a big difference for a spammer, he wants to spread his message.

I wouldn't saddle myself with this.
