I agree that there could be other use cases than MPTCP and that the main 
objective is to have 0-RTT proxying solution. Several members of this 
group have worked on MPTCP proxies and there is sufficient demand from 
various network operators to justify a specification that ensures that 
different implementations are interoperable. Given the experience that 
we have in this group with MPTCP proxies, it would make sense to discuss 
here first. There are already deployments and operators expect to have 
interoperablt solutions soon.
