While i think i understand where you're coming from, Tony, i can't help
but note that this use case is difficult to distinguish from a regime
that:

 (a) wants to forbid anonymous speech, and

 (b) wants to censor "unapproved" information sources, and

 (c) wants the capacity to undermine freedom of association.

That makes me wary, and i hope that SNI Encryption is *not* conflated
with these particular use cases.

In particular, the requirement of user identification/authentication in
combination with a heavily constrained network seems problematic.  I
don't think that we should design SNI encryption with an intent to
facilitate this scenario.
