If the entire transaction is being done under a previously exchanged
initial key, it will be impossible to detect whether it is a Freenet node
or not unless you find the address+key, in which case you have the address
and know it's a Freenet node anyway.

But I agree that the initial encryption to hide the key exchange can be
added later. If we add this then there is no reason not to do key and
cipher negotiations in plain text in the form of handshake messages.
