I disagree.

Every 1337 d00d will set the htl of the active links to the content they want 
to propagate  to ridiculously high values.  This might even be a useful way 
to probe for who is requesting  what content.  

Content authors shouldn't have unchecked control over fproxy paramaters.  It 
will cause trouble sooner or later.  The fact that we can not prevent WWW 
pages from making requests to fproxy with rude parameter values is no excuse 
for not fixing the problem for content originating inside freenet.
