Right.  The question is whether you think people are going to behave
well (which is more or less what Ray's proposal enables; the server if
under attack just closes its TCP anyway), or whether you prefer a
mechanism where the server gives hints that guide a client's behaviour.

I prefer the latter approach (which is what's in Paul's and Joe's
draft).  I think it provides data by which a server can develop
profiles of those requesters that reach it, and thereby make more
intelligent decisions about resource allocation.  But that would be
complicated and tricky, and Ray's proposal has the really notable
advantage that it's quite simple.  So I'd like one of these documents
to go ahead.
