One use (sic) of use-cases is that they are helpful to determine what's in-scope and what's out of scope.  For example, DNS is typically over UDP and doesn't care about replay or out of order. TLS-layer compression has security issues, and arguably application-level compression can be more effective by leveraging semantics (e.g., HTTP2 headers).  Both of those cases impact encryption.

I share the concern about not being distracted, but nowhere near as strongly as Dan.  And we're certainly not all concerned about getting authentication working correctly; it depends on what the definition of correctly is, I suppose.
