YES! You are both so right about this.

Of course people say they don't want to “be marketed to” on their mobile devices. But if you ask anyone if you can send them something they WANT to receive (maybe a coupon for a two for one dinner or a free movie) and have given permission to be sent, they say sure. And it is no longer “being marketed to” but instead it is a value added.

This is an excellent observation. A taxonomy would not only help us create better experiences for consumers, but would improve communication within the industry, with brands, with investors and with regulators It may even be a big step the right direction of better self-regulation within the mobile marketing industry as it explodes during the coming 3 – 5 years.

If jMac rises to the challenge, you can count me in for being ready to contribute, if only through healthy debate!
