I don't know squat about the maths, but I believe it *is* Bayesian, with
pieces added on top.  When an early draft of my Linux Journal article
questioned whether Spambayes was Bayesian, Gary Robinson replied: "it
might be best to take out the thing about "whether it's even correct to
refer to it as Bayesian" because f(w) is definitely Bayesian."
