What about option 4, "information publishers who don't like interference
by transport providers use TLS/SSL to enforce actual end-to-end
transmission of the content" ? As we gain experience in implementing
TLS, this is a certainly a possibility!
so we increase the burden on publishers who want content integrity in the
name of decreasing the burden on intermediaries who want to corrupt content?
somehow that doesn't seem like a socially beneficial tradeoff.
