In Cupertino, we agreed that we'd grease the version number field (while the alternative being eliminate) and also change the salt of the Initial encryption key.

That still leaves some of the non-invariant, cleartext fields that might ossify: the long header packet type bits, token length, and packet length.

Should we scramble them too? For example, the parameters used for ossification could include a XOR bitmask that would be applied to these fields.
