Right now tracking of mail is a special process, but why not put a barcode (or RFID) on every stamp, plus a human readable number that would be your tracking number.

That way you could just pop an envelope in the mailbox and you wouldn't need to go to a post-office (or UPS or Fedex) to get a tracking number.

Since tracking is expensive right now, I would imagine that the barcoded stamps would cost extra. But eventually this might be merged into standard first-class service.
