The above is reasonable.

I think your goal (A) and "maximising the advantages" of tcpcrypt
(or of TLS) are incompatible goals at this point in time.

If/when the WG adopt tcpcrypt optimisations relating to algorithm
agility will inevitably be explored. If/when the WG adopt TLS that
kind of change wouldn't make sense.

In the meantime trying to squeeze discussion of loads of different
things into discussion about TCP-ENO seems mostly a distraction.
