In the EST context, if it's a device with a (D)TLS connection to the Pledge
(the device enrolling) and a TLS connection to the PKI CA, then it's a
Registrar, not an http/coap proxy.   It may have the same apparent
connectors, but it processes the content.

I can't come with any pure-7030 situations where this official MITM
could be accomodated between the 7030 client and 7030-registrar.

Perhaps this represents that for generic-7030 use involving COAP+DTLS,
that a very clear applicability statement will need to detail what the
initial EST trust is.
