Yes, and spamd seems to do this too.  I think that this is a problem.
The problem is obvious:  one person's ham is another person's spam,
and spam/ham wordlists are specific to a given user, not a group of
users.

I already do this, in a manner that I've detailed elsewhere on this
mailing list.  I can use "spamassassin" just fine, but the combination
of spamc/spamd, while faster, doesn't work for my setup.
