I think reverse proxies are middleboxes regardless if they have official origin TLS certificates. From the TLS viewpoint they may be the endpoint although from the HTTP viewpoint they are not.

Yes.  And I am saying that the definition doesn't include a CDN as a 
middlepoint.

Do user-provided reverse proxies have official TLS certificates with a SAN 
field claiming to be the origin?
