Interesting.  I did a fast skim (more before 111), and my brain got going in two directions:

How important is it for a node to know whether the proxy offered actually is on-origin (not really a proxy)?  I’m trying to think up how one would set up security (DTLS, OSCORE) to that proxy.  Somehow, 2.2 leaves me a bit hungry here (credentials may need to be mutual).

Obviously, knowing that something “is a proxy” doesn’t mean the client can suddenly assume it is less-constrained (e.g., with respect to achievable response-rates and fan-in/fan-outs), power-affluent etc.  
Maybe those semantics go beyond what we would want to indicate via web-linking, but I think we should think more about how to make them available for server/proxy  selection.

Nit:
mechsnisms
but In general
the HTTP provisions the Alt-Svc
separte
