Personally, I think that the XXX is useful--that way I can set up a
filter (In Eudora, Outlook, or whatever) to say filter every message
that has a header that contains "SPAM:XXXXXX", and that will catch
anything that has a spam probability of greater than 50%.
Alternatively, if it said SPAM:075, I'd have to set up 50 different
filters for each number greater than 50%, which would be a pain.....
