That idea might not work well for s2s spam, but it would be a good way
to help stop bulk registrations for some services.  A particular service
might want to only allow registrations from users when they are, for
example, connected to the office network.  Otherwise the service could
allow c2s and s2s connections from anywhere.

There won't be a FUSSP.  The best thing you can do is provide a set of
tools for the service administrator to use at their discretion.
