I don't see it that way... For me, using the capabilities provided by this draft in order to get an OOB-only  "no client involved" mechanism is more difficult and probably less efficient than creating one from scratch...

That being said... One thing that bothers me from my last emails is that I seem to find myself on the draft-defending side of the discussion while I don't really like the draft itself due to the concerns I pointed out in my first email... I'm not fully against adding monitoring capabilities to the protocol, but I would prefer a "no-monitoring-allowed" TLS if the alternative was going with an insecure tapping mechanism.
