Good point, thanx for the clarification.
Perhaps there is some other way to solve the problem, like
uniform agreement among service providers on
diffserv code points and some kind of authentication on the
traffic classification field, so that the service
provider could authenticate that it hadn't
been changed in transit?
But this is perhaps the topic for another
thread and maybe another working group...
