Our real customers are asking for exactly what I'm describing below.
I didn't ask them why their stance to intermediaries has changed, if
it even has. That is academic. The key question here is what do
real customers want to deploy, and how can we enable them to do it.

Brian,
I don't know how IPSECME will choose to proceed, but in the WG I
chair folks expect WG participants to provide technically defensible
rationales for designs that they advocate. Relaying what customers
purportedly have requested doesn't cut it.
Also, the IETF does not assume that "the customer is always right"
when making protocol design decisions. If we did, and if we made such
decisions in 1990, we'd be using ATM, CLNP, X.400, and other
protocols that many big clients said were what they wanted in that
time frame :-).
