It's fine to have aspirations, and establishing an architecture in which
intermediaries can be properly identified and authorized is important. 
However, let's not take aspirations that do not even exist in the form
of an Internet-Draft, assume them as fact, and dismiss those who live in
the real world where caching is a necessity in bandwidth-constrained
environments.

Please let's take this step by step.  A few drafts that get us there
seem in order.
