Joining that mailing list would not be useful, prudent, or honest for
people with sentiments like mine. Moving the question of the wisdom of
such proxies to WREC would be equivalent to moving the question of the
wisdom of wiretapping to the wiretapping working group. At best the group
WG consensus can be predicted. At worst, the discussion would legitimately
be considered disruptive and irrelevant.
WREC is about proxies - there are plenty of 'architecturally conformant'
ways to do proxies. If the problems with transparent proxies is an
issue, WREC may be a good place (but not the only place) to solicit
input.
Correction - slip of the keyboard. What I meant was that WREC is _NOT_
about proxies. It's about caching and replication. Proxies are one part
of the architecture, but not the only part.
