Just for fun, I did a trial implementation. It works, but the URLs are
too long.
For example, the URL below spends 59 characters on the messag-id, and
27 characters on the listname. We're  already over my comfort level (of
about 72 characters) and haven't even started to count the hostname, and
other URL-lengthening overhead. Maybe this was a bad idea after all.
