The man-in-the-middle thing can happen irrespective of what OPES does
or doesn't do, in the absence of end-to-end security, say TLS.
I fail to see how OPES's charter and its yet-to-be-developed protocol 
would worsen the existing situation.

This is a good point. End-to-end encryption would eliminate most of the
possible threats identified in this discussion.
