Hi Russ,

I find it really hard to believe anyone is convinced of that.

Yes, one could chose to use this proposed wiretapping scheme
like that but figure 3 in the draft makes if fully clear that
this colluding or coerced wiretapping device can be anywhere
on the Internet.

2804 says "no" here - are you proposing to obsolete that? If
so, being up-front about that is IMO a pre-requisite and talk
of "datacentres" avoided as the misdirection that it is.

Again, I hope the chairs do not devote/waste more time on this
until there is a demonstrated IETF consensus to obsolete 2804.
We cannot honestly have both this and that.
