caching is very difficult with end-to-end encryption as the cache does
not have the private keys of the server.  the ietf is in a bit of a
muddle on this.  should one allow middle-boxes to break the encryption
and fake it?

so which is more important to you and your customers (think consumers,
banks, news sites, ...), end-to-end encryption to ensure privacy, or
caching to reduce bandwidth consumption and improve latency?
