??? Why do you need the full transport layer state?

Which the end-host does have access to, of course - provided you're doing
this in the end-host, and not at some border box - another thing GSE alluded
to, but which wasn't fully worked out, IIRC.

I don't know, I get a little nervous when functionality is spread out across
multiple boxes like that; the notion that the binding from identity to
location is something taken care of by your border router makes me uneasy.
