But this leads you immediately down the path to the objection that
inspired my suggestion: lots of things that you might _want_ for
yourself qualify as an attack under the draft as written. Google
analytics is not an attack even under the slightly funny meaning of
"attack" we're using here; it's a management tool. The draft actually
makes this point, in that it notes that there's a tension between
making networks managable and mitigating pervasive monitoring. I
think it's necessary to add some sort of indication of what principles
can be used to resolve that tension.
