I don't advocate for this, but if it happens, the random greasing should just be the header protection mask, otherwise it gets expensive and additional PRNG as was pointed out earlier in the discussion.

I'd rather see text where the bits are are zeroed and masked by default, but endpoints can negotiate masked or unmasked use via extensions. (Or masked only if people are concerned with ossification).
