Thanks. I have read it again. I think that rephrasing Patrick's suggestion
is needed, because it seems to be confusing to me (maybe to others as
well): there is *no definition* for "network transparent proxy" in the
taxonomy draft.

Furthermore - just as a side-note: I do not really like to have two
definitions for transparency in RFC2616 and the taxonomy draft. I think -
however - that it would be possible to provide a definition in the
taxonomy draft that *IS* compliant with the definition found in RFC2616.
It would be wise to have the same definition for "transparency", but other
definiton for "out-of-path transparent caching proxy" could be added.
