One more comment:

 - State keeping by intermediate nodes is described as an optimization,
   however: a) I'm not sure that that necessarily follows, since state
   keeping and cache index lookups are not free, and anyways, b) in some
   cases, particularly where the next header is TCP or UDP, state
   keeping appears to be a requirement for establishing confidence in
   heuristics results.

   (b) is the key issue.  Some advice on state cache sizing may be
   useful.  E.g., if an entry is dropped out of the cache due to cache
   pressure, how costly will that be in terms of additional inspection
   effort for future packets for that flow, and in terms of resulting
   future cache pressure?
