This is an interesting idea. However, if we embed proxy functions into border routers it would potentially add overhead (as well as latency) and make them harder to manage. Specifically, the number of border routers is likely to increase as network perimeters become more porous. Thus, this idea carries with it the need to ensure that these distributed routers can be configured with consistent policies.
Simple is good in operations.
I find this scarier.
