What if the middle-box just replies with a Version Negotiation message to any message for which it does not understand the version field? This will defeat the "natural version" and "server based obfuscation" options. For example, in the server based obfuscation case, the client will immediately repeat the request with Version 1. The middle box will cause a delay penalty, but a fairly minimal one.And we removed the protection against version downgrade from the transport spec.
