"preserve decentralization". "HTTP(S) fails". Bravo. Won't find too many willing to say this; it's the truth. The decentralized architecture that was the original plan for the "internet" is a worthy goal, not simply for anti-authoritarian or privacy reasons. Or home shopping possibilities (Baran paper predicting this). How about something more general, like resiliency? A network that is opportunistic and always "up". Municipalities are building resilient local networks for disaster recovery purposes. We should be building them for all uses, and interconnecting them. A true "internet" does not depend on nor is subject to centralized control. It only requires cooperation.
