A partial solution could be helpful.

However, do we have any indication that anyone will implement such a
dramatically simplified itrace?

Also, is there agreement that this will help (as opposed to changing
the nature of attacks)?  I guess in some sense, we really have to get
some deployment out there to see how attackers really start to mess
with it...
