Howdy,
Speaking for myself, I would propose that even "read only" services
like logging/billing should require at least one-party consent.
It's still a traffic diversion, and reading is sometimes as destructive
as a modify.

The examples you give seem more closely related to ones that could be

asking the question.
Yup, agreed, the given services are typically more closely related to
devices such as the ones you mentioned (hmm..., a "proxy" could
possible run a local OPES proxylet for logging/billing, what about
this case?).
I'm just wondering whether this consideration rules out realizing such
services in an OPES framework and whether this is intentional or
whether we need more clarification on this.
