Peter Suber has since replied that he recalls blogging something to that
effect in Open Access News (but cannot retrieve the URL) and Alma Swan
has written that she remembers a similar proposal in a Dutch institutional
self-archiving initiative (but she likewise cannot retrieve the URL)
(SURF/DARE?).
I've since found the blog posting that Stevan mentions. It's apparently
the same news that Alma Swan recalls. Here's the posting from Open Access
News, April 6, 2004.

Tilburg University has added a very nice feature
<http://kubl03.uvt.nl:4090/?request=coma&domain=Coma> to its institutional
repository. When a journal does not permit postprint archiving, then the
repository still includes a record containing a citation and a link to the
publisher's priced or for-fee edition. The record also contains an
explanation of the publisher's policy, quoting and dating the publisher's
own words if possible. With one click, the author can generate a letter to
the publisher asking permission to deposit the postprint in the
repository. Backend software automatically addresses the letter to the
right human contact at the publisher and provides a full citation to the
article. The letter concludes, "If I do not hear from you within thirty
days I will assume that you have no objections to the above-mentioned
request and the electronic copy will then be included in the institutional
repository of the University of Tilburg." See this example
<http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2004_04_04_fosblogarchive.html#a108126147329143935>.
Leo Waaijers of Tilburg reminds us that the site is still under construction.
