HTTP HashCash

Hi!

I've noticed the rise in popularity of Anubis<https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis>. It's an effective tool for the job (requiring additional work to access expensive endpoints), but I don't want to use it on my public-facing stuff because it makes it unreadable to most tools due to the use of JavaScript (I recognize that many people see this as an advantage of Anubis, however for me this is a negative I'd like to avoid). I was wondering about maybe standardizing HashCash for HTTP to make this sort of computational tax more universally supported. Thoughts?
