Cool suggestion, just one note - spam-split can take a string
argument.  If given, that sets spam-split-group to avoid exactly what
you have above.  So Martin could do, using your example:

(| ...some rules here...
  (to "workaddress" (| (: spam-split "work-spam")
                       ...other.rules.for.work.mail...))
  (to "homeaddress" (| (: spam-split "home-spam")
                       ...other rules for home mail...)))

I like your way to solve Martin's split issues better than mine, btw
:)
