> concluding remark: it's too bad the protocol ended up so complicated.

Yes, I agree.  My suggestion to reconsider the Mogul/Kent probe
protocol raised a bit of dust about privacy, but no one said what
was inherently wrong with it.  I think we need some discussion on
this (though it is a bit late, admittedly).  If this comes up at
IETF, can someone make notes?  I think Steve and I shall be absent.

Thanks,
