Trusting the source when it says that its packets aren't evil might be sub-optimal. Evaluation of evilness is best left up to the receiver.


Likely true. Next question is whether the receiver can really
determine that in real time. For some things, yes, but for many things
it is not as obvious to me.



It would be a very good start not having to receive that which you can
identify as something you don't want.
