Robert,
I seem to recall from long ago that one reason for forwarding strays was
to support restart or failover of a proxy, where internal state of the
failed proxy is not preserved. As I recall, the expectation was that
while things might not work as well as if the failure had not happened,
the situation would be better than if these messages were not forwarded.
This is only a vague memory, so it may not be right. But if it is, won't
the proposed changes break that? Does it matter?
Also, while I see some logic in not forwarding strays for the reasons
stated in the draft, if that is a problem that needs to be solved,
shouldn't stateless proxies also be banned?
