If that were the problem we are addressing, the best answer would involve RFC 6920.

For privacy, though, STASI*) should not be able to find out that I’m retrieving RFC 1984 so that they can't identify me as a long-haired bomb-throwing leftist (or whatever retrieving RFC 1984 makes you in their minds).
