Exactly.  If you want to thwart traffic analysis, you need to do something
like what's done by designs like Aqua ("Towards Efficient Traffic-analysis 
Resistant Anonymity Networks"), or ideas from any of the other anti-traffic-
analysis work that's emerged in the past decade or two.  You get traffic 
analysis resistance by, for example, breaking data into fixed-length 
packets, using cover traffic, and messing with packet timings, not by 
encrypting TLS headers.
