The way I see it is that you get sent an email (like MT-Blacklist) and click a link to approve that URL, but you approve the URL once only. I imagine that most of the work would only be done at the very start. Plus, if you get a new URL in your comments, you go have a look, don't you? I have a look, and sometimes its because I can't tell whether the comment is spam or not. Visiting the URL can confirm this, you would have to do this sort of extra work anyway to keep your comments clean. If you have a low comment spam ratio it may be a solution that doesn't need applying. Same could then be said for a lot of the other solutions. How many unique URLS in that 95%?
