Hi Dan,
I don't have any experience with MediaWiki antispam solutions but with
Drupal I use http://drupal.org/project/spamicide: "Spamicide adds an
input field to each form then hides it with css, when spam bots fill in
the field the form is discarded."
That's not only much more userfriendly as it doesn't require any extra
effort from the user but quite effectiv for preventing spam. I shouldn't
be to difficult to use the same mechanism in an extension.

We have that too:

But if the bot is smart enough to register for accounts and handle
captchas, it might not be easily tripped up by such a simple measure.
