One other thing I've been thinking about is a kind of "debug" option where a fake message could be injected into the system, with the appropriate headers, and out would come some debugging information about which rules got hit, and exactly why a message would be held, accepted, discarded, or rejected.

More than just "cool to have": it would enable people to write more tests for the test suite, which in turn makes developers more confident in undertaking aggressive re-factorings without fear of breakage. That would be a Good Thing.
