The encapsulation is not much of an obstacle to packet examination.
There was actually a proposal a couple of weeks back in the WG to encrypt all
traffic on the inter-xTR stage.
The win in doing it in the xTRs, of course, is that you don't have to go
change all the hosts, application by application: _all_ traffic, of any kind,
from that site to any/all other sites which are encryption-enabled, will get
a certain degree of confidentiality.
Does this count as something the IETF can do reasonably quickly that will
help somewhat? :-)
It certainly wouldn't hurt :)
