Yes. I think it should be included in any comprehensive description of the problems with proxies. What a solution would look like is an entirely different animal where I completely agree with the points you raise.

Hi Richard,

You mean "Living with Interception"?

I removed it because it's a two-front war; not only would we need to fight the "layer violation" issue, but also convince privacy, security and civil society stakeholders that it's legitimate to have an active protocol component between a HTTP UA and origin without the consent or knowledge of either party.

Not to say that we can't talk about it; just that it didn't seem like something useful to include at this point.

Regards,
