Haven't gone through the whole thread in that link, but aren't they talking about softening?
Edit: have gone though it now, they are talking about general softening effects, which is not what I'm after, and probably would be easier in software these days? I want to keep a sharp focal plane, but have smoother bokeh. Without software trickery.

I seem to remember people using a match to char the edges of a UV filter to get a similar effect. Can't remember where I read it, but it may give you a lead.
