One major advantage to message-level encryption would be the option to 
mix a stream.

For example, consider the following stream:

  Authentication
             --->
             Acknowledgement
            <---
         Request
             --->
             Response
            <---
           {Time}
         Ping
            --->
            Pong
           <---


Being able to be discriminatory about when encryption is employed might 
be beneficial (of course, it might also lead to really bad practices ;)
