It’s probably as good as it’s going to get - it’s a (needed) bandaid for our
routing rather than a fix, but I think we all appreciate at this point that a
true fix is not straightforward.

Yes.

I think the private element is a little risky where a remote user can change
routing behaviour without the recipient knowing because the server has to strip
the private element. ("and the receiving server SHOULD remove the <private/>
element before delivering to the recipient.”). I don’t immediately remember why
the removing of private was necessary, and it seems like it’s probably
undesirable?

It’s probably as good as it’s going to get.
