I agree with your first points, which I snipped, but could a VPN
not be considered concealing origin?  I think that's a _bad_
classification, but am playing devil's advocate, here...

Although I suppose if the company using the VPN is the comms
provider, then they'd not be concealing the origin from
themselves.

I still wonder about promiscuous mode.

IANAL. *shrug*
