What I am proposing is have a registry that you must register
with before other mail servers will accept mail from you. Similar to how
MAPS RBL works, but the mail server itself, enforces it, rather than a
firewall or a ancillary device ACL. This could be made a standard of
SMTP.

No, I don't think this is good solution
First of all, we could not ask customers to register everything they
planned with leased line without legal reasons.=20
Second, if I hire DSL/leased_line service from ISP and set up domain
name for myself, ISP could not ask me to=20
tell them which port should be opened as I'm not taking a firewalling
service, I'm not a member of my service provider.
I should be able to do anything that are not perhibited by law or affact
someothers. =20
Blocking_port_25 indicates ISP pre-assume that customers will SPAM
their network. But, SPAMmer is just a very small=20
group of people. Maybe most of them comes from other countries ( what
happens in China). =20
To me, the proper way of anti-spam may ask cooperation between ISPs and
Email service providers. Anyway,=20
strengthening anti-spam ability in Email server is a must.
