Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not a general practice within SA to
provide __subtests with no final tests. If I understand you correctly at this
point, you want to provide "standardized" __subtests so that 3rd party systems
like Barracuda, or custom rules files like Tim's, have something "standard" to 
use.

However, on the assumption that the majority of SA sites won't use those 3rd
party applications, by incorporating your __subtests, SA would be increasing the
workload on ALL systems for the benefit of a minority. I believe that goes
counter to this project's philosophy, which is to improve spam detection itself
and to consume as few resources as possible while doing a good job at it.

If you and Tim or others could submit a set of productive and effective rules
that identify spam/outscatter, which use these __subtests, that would be a
beneficial enhancement to the SA system. But without such positive results to be
incorporated into SA itself, I don't see the devs accepting the overhead of
these __subtests.
