Seems like a good use of ENCRYPTED to me.

I'm not sure what kind of middlebox would need to know all of the address candidates. Maybe some extra signaling could be devised when that needs to happen (like a HIP-aware middlebox where addresses can be communicated via HIP.)

Thanks for continuing the work on this!
