We're kind of tackling item #2 above, in the hopes of improving the
situation described in RFC7872. -- this is expected to be a default
permissive approach.

For item #1, it would probably boil down to block anything you don't use
(i.e., way more aggressive approach)-- but that would be a different
project.

Thoughts?
