I would think that having some way of plugging this in would be better 
than hard-coding it, as new solutions come along all the time.

Recaptcha is good as far as traditional captchas go, but while we're 
voting, I'll vote for Text Captcha (www.textcaptcha.com) for obvious 
reasons.  Though one available in multiple languages would be a good idea 
of course.

And it goes without saying that this only would make a difference for 
web-based subscription, it wouldn't make any difference for Email 
subscription requests unless you wanted to plug something like Text 
Captcha into the confirmation process, which would be rather novel at 
least.

Geoff.
