Eric,

10% performance impact due to (security) service is a impact on the system. In case of walled garden (Enterprise) network, there is no need to design the system which always requires of 10% performance w.r.t general purpose hardware and obvious choice is to come up with custom build hardware which reduces the cost of system and solution. But your proposal of "mandatory to implement" forces these kind of solution to increase the cost unnecessarily. So, I argue for "mandatory to implement" in browser but against "mandatory to use" which breaks these kind of deployment model.

Thanks
Partha
