I can't say I've read the bill yet, but I haven't heard of any
provision which requires something like Adv: in the subject line.

Correct headers is not necessarily equal to identification. And none
of this matters still when it comes to spam coming from overseas.

Which will make legitimate spam unprofitable, since nobody will ever
recieve it, leading people to simply disobey the law, or find
loopholes (like changing their name every other message).
