...just a partial one.

From IETF 114:

Richard Barnes: a passing thought: linkability != losing all OHTTP protection. in particular because linkability like Ben is talking about doesn't link to an IP address, which is substantially worse

Martin Thomson: @richard Barnes yeah, that's true, there are lesser losses involved; a unique Target URL creates pseudonymity in place of anonymity, which isn't great, but it isn't a complete loss

I don't know if it is worth enumerating all of the combinations is viable, but we might consider talking about the exact shape of the consistency requirements here.
