The objections I've seen so far to this draft specifically cite problems from systems such as "transparent web proxies" (which are, in my experience, usually far from transparent) in the network which intercept all traffic, regardless of destination address, sent to specific well-known ports. A quick read through draft-cerpa-necp-02.txt suggests that it's primarily targeted at forms of redirection which occur at the request of service operators. Such systems are best thought of as a funny kind of application-layer proxy, and are far less damaging to the end-to-end internet model than the transparent proxies cited above. I think it's important to carefully distinguish between these sorts of redirection. Some clarifying text in the draft to this effect would be helpful. - Bill
