Hm, this is a good point...  I looked at this for a while, though, and I couldn't come up with text here without going down a side-tracked philosophical rabbit hole; suggestions?

> * 3.3.1. Invariants begs the question of what networks will do with the parts of the message that are *not* invariant, and the resulting strategies that protocol designers might take -- i.e., some form of encryption, greasing, etc. Not sure if we intend to publish a separate doc here, but it might be worth mentioning.

I've added some text here to the working copy (https://britram.github.io/draft-trammell-wire-image/draft-trammell-wire-image.html#rfc.section.3.3.1) -- is this what you had in mind?

Thanks, cheers,
