Resending with most of the message trimmed.  My first attempt to send 
this got a response that the message is awaiting moderator approval 
because it was bigger than 50k bytes.

Nirav,

One qualification of your point below -- The server would only receive 
requests that survived throttling from clients that support DOIC.  The 
server will also receive requests from clients that do not support 
DOIC.  One of the benefits of Ulrich's proposal is that it tells the 
server when a request has not gone through throttling.  The server can 
then choose to do something different with that set of requests.

As to the question of which is more work for the server, which is the 
important question, that isn't yet clear to me.
