I oppose publication of this I-D by the IETF.

The point has already been that better defences against monitoring
likely means greater use of encryption and encryption is at times
harmful. 
Encryption has its dangers and the IETF should not be encouraging its
widespread adoption.

The strings “encryption” and “encrypt” doesn’t appear in the draft; the closest 
it comes is the reference to RFC1984, whose name includes “crypt”.
