I don't see those being added to the core, but they are very good addon possibility's.
I used to use Akismet as well, but have not in some time, for no reason other than I have not had a spam problem as of late. Found it more useful on WordPress then the forum, but it did have its use.
As you noted, we have Bad Behavior, http:BL, captcha, empty-field validation (also a timer to prevent filling in forms to fast). You can also add in the question / answer challenge on the registration page, (a simple yet very powerful anti spam control). Thats all in the core which is why I don't see us adding more in but addons seem a good avenue.

Just to be sure I'm not missing something, you can enter your http:BL API Key in the current anti spam features of ElkArte.
Go to Admin -> Security and Moderation -> Anti Spam -> Bad Behavior. Enable BB and then you can enter
http:BL API Key, http:BL Threat Level and http:BL Maximum Age details. With that filled in it will use that feature as well (change the level and age with caution)
