Please note also Vint's remark:

If ISPs were to inspect packets and interfere with those of competing application providers (voice, video), I would consider that a violation of the principle of network neutrality.

Would packet classification and per-hop queuing of different DSCP classes be considered "interference" in this world? What if a VOIP provider didn't want to pay for its packets to go in an EF queue, so the network processed the packets in the normal queue, is that a violation of your principles?
