Although I agree that it is sad that at least the _spirit_ of end-to-end semantics is violated here, I believe that proxy browsing has the enthusiastic support of those people who are now able to browse the full Web with the webpages displaying nicely despite poor network connections being accessed by phones with a tiny screen and a tiny processor incapable of running a "proper" web browser. Opera Mini has made a business of this for years. The telco network operators did it before them (with WAP). And Nokia does it too. I don't particularly like it, but I do believe that it is a perfectly valid response to the need to create a Web browsing experience for everyone, not just the developed world.
