Two problems with this proposal, that don't occur with the proposal
the capport WG is working on, are:

- What do you do if you get one of these alerts over multipath TCP?

- What happens if some site far away on the Internet sends you one of
  these alerts?  Perhaps because DNS was forged and hasn't timed out
  yet?
