Excellent document.  Very useful in my opinion to help explain the  
overall issues.

My one comment would be that section 3 is titled "Why end-to-end  
identification is important" but it isn't really as much about WHY e2e  
identification is important but more showing various use cases where  
e2e identification fails (or succeeds but would be broken by RFC  
4474).  It might be better titled "Examples of identification  
transmission" or something similar.

Thanks for taking the time to write this,
Dan
