Just wanted to chime in to say that I would love to see further work on
this draft within EMU, and am happy to provide support from a
privacypass perspective

In addition to Joe's points on misbehaving clients, we should be sure to
acknowledge to users that this alone doesn't give them privacy, and needs
to be combined with other tools as well.

Best,
Scott
