Right, I was concerned about the case where this difference is
(potentially) large.  That's all.

The main problem I see with a design that shifts complexity to the
sender is the economic one.  I want to provide as much incentive to
implement the sender side of this as possible, which means keeping it
simple.  If the cost of that is a little more complexity on receivers,
but only when using block ciphers, I think that I can live with that.
Given that the complexity is likely more in logic than it is code,
then I'm even more happy with what I've proposed.
