Reasonable people disagree as to whether it's desirable.

John, This is actually an important point. It may be desirable to the community, but not to our customers who are buying NAP service. Our first priority has to be to our customers, though we hope we can fulfill the goal of assisting the Internet community in the process.

Possible (or at least feasible) I'll give you, so the point is pretty much moot.

Not totally sure if you were agreeing or disagreeing. ATM NAP providers at least would have a hard time looking at datagrams as a whole to do "wiretapping". Maybe we can give you the average number of 1's and 0's in each cell?
